Actually the exporter library took 16-bits-per-channel unsigned shorts 
as input, so I had to do some conversion.  I took some test files into 
cinepaint to make sure I did it right, and it works.

What worries me is whether or not the endian-switching code works; the 
dpx/cineon import/export library I took from cinepaint's cineon/dpx 
plugin uses tcp/ip endian switching functions, and I frankly have no 
idea if the cinepaint developers have made sure it all works or not.
