I forgot to mention how *Magick actually store the EXIF profile.

In ImageMagick, it's here:
chunk zTXt at offset 0x00078, length 31343, keyword: Raw profile type exif

In GraphicsMagic, it's here:
chunk zTXt at offset 0x00025, length 31365, keyword: Raw profile type EXIF

I don't know who, when, or why the case of EXIF was changed to exif
in ImageMagick.

In either code, the zTXt chunk actually contains the raw profile,
hex-encoded.
The hex-encoding isn't a terribly efficient way of storing the data (I
recall that
Mark was horrified when I first proposed it), but the zTXt compression helps
with that.
