I've been playing around with the Image::ExifTool module, and it appears
that ImageInfo in Image::ExifTool is nearly a drop in replacement for
image_info that is currently used in bins, but gives you access to extended
exif tags.

If I work up a patch to switch bins over to Image::ExifTool, is there any
interest in including it?

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
