-Subject: [PATCH] fix linking of vdb_tool with OpenEXR
-
-This patch is Gentoo specific. Ideally it should respect the OpenEXR version
-being installed. Because we only support OpenEXR-3 for OpenVDB, the patch
-works on Gentoo, but not on setups where OpenEXR-2 is still being used to
-build OpenVDB.
