Another ditto - I think it's just cleaner.

I'd also like to recommend the include form of:

#include <OpenEXR/ImfVersion.h>
#include <OpenEXR/ImfArray.h>
...

This simplifies include paths, as you don't need to add "OpenEXR" to the 
include path. If it's in /usr/include, it's already in your path, and on 
Windows, I put all my third-party libraries in an "sdk" directory, and 
all I'd need to have is "sdk" in my include path.

It also matches other toolkits like boost and Qt (4).
