Attached patch adds three things to MythGallery:
 1. Retrieval of captions from the EXIF data of an image
    It looks for either USER_COMMENT or IMAGE_DESCRIPTION
 2. Display of these captions in iconview instead of filename
 3. Display of these captions on top of the image in
    slideshow mode (optional, configured by a new GUI setting)

 As I don't have any images with "native" captions in them, I only tested
 with images in which an image description was inserted by the 'exif' tool
 from the libexif project. Seems to work just perfectly.
