[PULL REQUEST 1/2] Port MP4 support to taglib

As libmp4v2 cannot be legally linked to from GPL programs because of its
MPL license [1], the version of easytag in Debian instead patches
easytag to use taglib for MP4 tag reading and writing. Sadly, taglib's C
API does not expose all the tags that were supported by libmp4v2.

Attached are the same changes as a patch file.

Git branch: https://github.com/Sikon/easytag/tree/taglib

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/552705

Attachment (taglib.patch): text/x-patch, 21 KiB

Thanks Maia. Would anyone else like to add anything before I apply the
patch? One thing I'd like to ask is for clarification regarding the
Mozilla Public License's compatibility with the GPL. As I understand it,
it should be fine? [1]
