So I've gotten pretty far with the latest 2.1 branch - IlmBase is 
building with no problems that I can see.

But when I'm linking IlmImf, I'm getting hundreds of "unresolved 
external symbol" errors, such as:

2>ImfTiledMisc.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
"__declspec(dllimport) public: __cdecl Iex::ArgExc::ArgExc(char const

etc.

I pointed the IlmImf linker to the built *.libs from IlmBase, so I don't 
know what is causing this.

I've gotten some build tips from Sebastian but I'm using VS2008 here and 
he's using 2010, and doesn't seem to be getting these errors.

Anyone know what is going on?
