mxcl/homebrew — Issue #10097: OpenEXR and ilmbase include directory conflict

I ran 'brew install openexr' and it completed successfully, also installing its dependency ilmbase. However, both ilmbase and openexr have an include subdirectory named OpenEXR. The symlink at /usr/local/include/OpenEXR to ilmbase is clobbered when the OpenEXR symlink is installed.

I worked around it by copying the files from both packages to a real directory in /usr/local/include/OpenEXR. Another solution would be to symlink each header file individually.
