Ok, i CC Richard Groult from ShowImg project to check if we can remove 
libkexif from svn trunk without problem...

Richard, 

libkexif depency have been removed from kipiplugins (trunk). 

We using everywhere Exiv2 library instead (there is an internal Exiv2 
interface, not shared to host).

digiKam from trunk (0.9.0) do not use libKExif now (Exiv2 is used in digiKam 
core)

KPhotoAlbum and GwenView do not use libKExif.

libKExif is obsolete now and will not be maintened.

So, is ShowImg use libKexif ? We can remove it from trunk ?

please give us your viewpoint... Thanks in advance
