Ok, I've written some transfer annotations but to be honest I really
am not familiar enough with the code to say if they're correct. I've
essentially just guessed. I need somebody more familiar with gexiv2 to
review this and give some feedback.

All I can say at this point is that it's currently possible, in
Python, to load a file, access some tags, write some tags, then save
it. This brings us into "good enough for me!" territory however I
understand that this is going to need some fleshing out to have more
general API coverage.

One issue that I do know of is that I hard-coded "lib64" in the
Makefile because when I tried using $(LIB) it was installing the
typelibs to the wrong place. This means that this patch is pretty
broken for 32-bit systems, and I'm not sure how to fix that. The
generated typelib should still *work* on a 32bit system, it's just a
matter of writing the Makefile to install it to the right place. I
guess this would involve querying pkg-config for the right directory
but I don't really know how.

Thanks!

(I've also CC'd the pyexiv2 maintainer Olivier Tilloy since he
expressed some interest in this project)
