The first stab at the UDIM stuff is in OIIO master.

I'm mulling over how to support Bruce's suggestion about UDIM-in-one-file, it 
seems like a neat idea.

I agree with Jono that if DWA has already proven no negative effects in 
practice of lifting the same-data-window restriction on multi-part files, that 
would be a nice patch to put in the mainline of openexr.
