Marie,

Thanks for the email.   In terms of testing OCIO with new IDT/ODTs,
are your transforms CTL programs, or have you formulated them in the
OCIO vocabulary. (luts, matricies, etc).

I believe you are the first to attempt to use it on Windows, though it
was always in our plan to add eventual support.  I suppose now is the
time to get it in.

Have you made a branch of the git repository?  Are you on github? I'd
love to see all the changes you've made. If you aren't familiar with
git and would prefer to send me diffs, that will be fine as well.

I'll try to find a Windows machine at work, so we can work through the
remaining compilation issues together.  Then if any changes are needed
for cross-platform compatibility, we can get them in before the 0.8
API lockdown.

Cheers,
Jeremy
