Re: [Openexr-devel] use "" instead of <> for header?

[E. Scott Larsen]

The standard Florian quoted says that if the "" method fails, then it 
will be treated as if it were specified via the <> method.  So in 
theory, switching to "" will do no harm.  At the same time, all the 
compilers I've had experience with (HPUX-CC,IRIX-CC,g++, and MSVC), do 
_not_ search the current directory for the <> and _do_ search the 
current directory for "".

This seems to support the same general consensus that Daniel and Dennis 
mention (and everyone I've talked to): use "" for references inside the 
current project, and use <> for references outside the current project.

I second the motion for this change.  The standard does seem to say 
clearly that switching to "" will do no harm, only good - and I do agree 
that it will make life easier for users.
