towards libopenraw 0.0.1

libopenraw 0.0.1 is going forward. Yesterday I wrote a C API to call libopenraw that way I can have a stable ABI, and fixed compatibility with MacOS X (it was simply broken I don't know if it is because of endianness or just different type casting). I fixed the make distcheck, not yet committed to my local bzr branch, let alone the main CVS.

libopenraw 0.0.1 will be able to get thumbnails from CR2, NEF, DNG and ORF files. ARW is experimental. I'll support more file formats as time goes. CRW needs a complete parser, I'll work on that too.

libopenraw update

After month of slacking, after changing directions once (I switched to C++ and will not look back), this time I have something. I have spend most of the week-end coding on libopenraw to implement the extraction of thumbnails from CR2, NEF and ORF file. CRW is in progress (I need to write a parser for that) and MRW.

I'm pondering whether I should keep using automake or bite the bullet and switch to CMake.
