Re: CALL for DISCUSSION: eXIf 20170115

as an example, in my pngexif code (published here a week ago) I 
currently don't need to use any library

with zXIf I would need to include zlib, which would create a dependency

ok, small one, but as I showed with zTXt, probably nobody will use this 
"feature"
