Thanks for that, it prompted me to load up the latest source into VS 
Community Edition 2013.

I needed to add the #include to ImfHeader.h too otherwise I got lots of 
errors about std::min and std::max.

I'm sure that's the right way to go though.

I guess you mean std::shared_ptr, right?

No, they're not; they're entirely C++11 specific (except for 
std::vector; dunno where you found something else; but let's please keep 
the "std::" out of the code for that one, as it's too frequently used. 
Also, I don't know about std::placeholder; never heard of it before).

Just wondering whether anyone is still using Visual Studio Express 2012
and might want to try building the current master branch?

If so, I'd love to know whether you can get away now with performing
only steps 1-3, 7 and 9.
