Hello pyexiv2 users!

I am considering merging the fractions branch [1] into pyexiv2-0.2.
This would introduce a strong runtime dependency on python 2.6 [2]. The
benefit is less custom code, a better integration with Python, and a
more natural manipulation of rational numbers.

If anyone knows of any objections to this merge, let him speak now or
forever hold his peace! I am particularly interested in what application
developers have to say regarding packaging. I know for instance that
Debian stable doesn't ship python 2.6.

I'm waiting for your feedback, if I don't get any in the coming week or
so, I'll go on with the merge.

Cheers,

Olivier
