While looking into the latest craze of geoblogging -- gps-tagging
pictures, I found a nice util called exiftool that can edit exif tags
on jpeg files. This should allow import of descriptions from an
external source to exif tags quite easily. Then, we just need
mythgallery to support the exif tag display ;)

It can do the following:

exiftool -Comment='This is a new comment' dst.jpg
    Set comment in file (replaces any existing comment).
