TagLib 1.6

[Brett Hoyle]

  In SVN the macros switched and then switched back to WITH_ASF/WITH_MP4 
instead of TAGLIB_WITH_ASF/TAGLIB_WITH_MP4.

Also this is clearly too late for 1.6 and not hugely important but the 
RIFF/WAV support still lacks the seemingly very simple to calculate 
"length" property. This field really should be filled correctly.
