[CREATE] lensfun plugin for digikam

[Pablo d'Angelo]

Hi all,

Sorry for crossposing about 3 lists, but I think it might be needed to 
connect the people with the relevant expertise.

Great news!

Maybe somebody on hugin-ptx can help out the lensfun guys with instructions 
on how hugin can be used to create suitable distortion profiles? Basically, 
either follow the PTLens instructions, or stitch a panorama (might need a 
bit more care to get good results).

I also hope that we get a lens database GSOC project rolling, which should 
basically update the lens database as soon as people start stitching 
panoramas shot with their new cameras.
