Really the answer is that the OpenEXR library requires exceptions, just like it 
requires RTTI and other things.  All the error handling is done with 
exceptions.  If I turn off exceptions in gcc, I get an error wherever you see 
the keyword "throw".  The library also never checks the result of a "new" 
operator because those are supposed to throw exceptions if they fail.

So I guess you're going to have to start hacking your way to an exception-free 
version.
