[Cin] Again on plugins in floating point (HDR)

[Igor BEGHETTO]

Sorry, I didn't have time to test anything and I don't know if I can see 
something on my screen because it is set/calibrated to sRGB only.
I think the question could be,... would the changes for clipping in the 
plugins'code would be compatible with our old projects?
