Andrew,
Some real "interesting" patch file names ! I applied them in numerical order from 0001 to 0011 successfully and did a build. And now have checked into GIT -- please verify that I did not miss anything when you have time. The only questions I have are:
1) the addition of CFG_CFLAGS+=" $(pkg-config --cflags Imath) in 0008-add-Imath-cfgflags-to-configure.ac.patch because I thought it was already building that? maybe now I will be able to get Manual Virgil's OpenEXR upgrade?
2) I got lost in the "python" mods to guicast/Makefile but as far as I can tell it built without a problem on my laptop. This was in 0005 and 0007.
