Taglib# branch merged

[Ruben Vermeersch <ruben savanne be>]

Hi all,

I've just merged the taglib-metadata branch, which switches from the
difficult to maintain (and subtly broken) metadata code in src/Imaging/
towards the new, pretty and highly unit-tested Taglib# library.

In the long run we should see better metadata support and less crashes
on corrupt files. And an easier to maintain codebase, because metadata
handling in F-Spot has been greatly simplified.

This is a big switch though:

    172 files changed, 2716 insertions(+), 26341 deletions(-)

And such switches rarely come without regressions.

>From the top of my head:
 - Some lesser-used RAW formats are not supported yet.
 - The metadata pane has been disabled for now
 - Extracting color profiles from images is currently disabled

All of these issues should be (and will be) resolved before the 0.8
release. But may I ask everyone to test as much as possible, throw as
much weird files onto it and report bugs!
