Bibble have also some support for IPTC
And there are lots of commandline tools supporting IPTC, like
exiftools and EXIFutils 


Since there is a perl module named Image::Kimdaba and perl has Image::IPTCInfo.
I guess it is no problem for a skilled writer to make a iptc2xml script.
This script should do something like:
browse this dir for iptc keyword and update my index.xml
and/or browse this dir and write IPTC info from my index.xml.


For my self I have given up IPTC. In my experience there are a lots of trouble
with Unicode.
