It's a pretty big change to the DPX module, which is a fairly important file 
format for us, so it does make me a little nervous.  It would be very helpful 
if you could build the branch referenced in the pull request (git pull 
https://github.com/lgritz/oiio lg-dpx) and give that a spin on a bunch of your 
files, that would give me a lot more confidence about committing it to master.
