I just found out you can do HDR with hugin.

How do you do it? I found the instructions but:  
  1. Take bracketed shots of your scene.
    done

  2. Open bracketed images in Hugin. Align - let's say - the middle exposures together and set the stacks in the Images tab.
    1. If your stacks don't align (shot hand-held, sloppy panohead, etc.), set some control points inside stacks and align them too.
      done.... not sure about 'set[ting] the stack in the Images tab'

  3. Stitch the panorama with hugin and 
    done
  4. enblend to HDR file.
    not done. how?

  5. Optionally tonemap the result with qtpfsgui.
