Thanks for the patch, but the "Adobe" API, the one from the Adobe XMP 
SDK aren't supported / exported.

One of the reason of Exempi to exist is to provide a clean C API (with 
ABI stability amongst other things) instead of a template based C++ API. 
Which your sample does not use (the samples/source directory comes 
directly from the original source tree).

In short, I can't accept it.
