[Hdri] HDRI capture program for Canon EOS cameras under Mac OS X

[Matthew Trentacoste]

Yeh, that's why I was asking about a plugin API to add additional  
cameras.  If I'm willing to do the work to get my D70 to work,  
someone else might be willing to to do a D200.  Sure, you'd end up  
having to tack on 2 dozen shared libraries to support every camera,  
but I'd still say that for me to add support for my camera is less  
effort than to reinvent everything else Greg has done.
