MiniExiftool is a wrapper library for the Exiftool command-line  
application (www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) written by Phil

- Checking if the exiftool command can be executed at loading the lib
- New class methods  
MiniExiftool.exiftool\_version, MiniExiftool.writable\_tags
- Bugfix for Windows (Tempfile)  
Thanks to Jérome Soika for testing
- Regexes a little bit optimized
- More tests
