Unused PIMPL pointer in TagLib::Tag

[Stephen Hewitt]

Can you elaborate on these ABI reasons or point me somewhere that does? I
didn't notice any assumptions about the layout/size of TagLib::Tag made in
the code other that via the header in question? If there is a valid reason
I'd suggest a comment was in order.
