Nice nice nice. I'm very impatient to test it, especially to implement a
full TIFF image writer witch support full metadata. Actually, libtiff is
very limited. We cannot use it to embedded Exif and Makernote informations.

Also, later, i will use Exiv2 with libkdcraw to provide a full compliant RAW
to DNG converter under linux...

 and some features with major API changes. Does that work
out with digikam's release plans?

Since we use an external Exiv2 interface (libkexiv2), we just need to update
it (:=)))

In the meantime please test 0.13 to make sure it is useful and can be
the basis for such a stable version. Feedback any problems to the exiv2
group or bug tracker, we shouldn't take-over this list ;)

I use 0.13 since a long time without problem...
