+USAGE
+-----
+
+Until someone writes some documentation, you need to refer to the header 
+files. The short test-program test/test-mem illustrates how to create valid
+EXIF data from scratch, how to save EXIF data and how to load EXIF data 
+from data in memory. Don't hesitate to contact us 
+(<libexif-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>) if you've got any questions
+on how to use libexif.

-We should probably support the generation of an empty EXIF structure with all
-mandatory tags. First ideas are in exif-tag.c. This has not yet been finished.
