Description:
Hugin relies on exiftool to write metadata on output images; however perl-exiftool is not listed as a dependency of hugin.
Hugin works well without this, but the output images lack metadata.

Additional info:

it doesn't error out on it though? so it's more of a soft dependency I think

Well, it is just a little softer than autopano-sift-c and enblend; however as the post-install reads:

--> autopano-sift was replaced by auto-pano-sift-c and became a hard dependency
--> in order to make the experienc less painful and confusing. Same deal with
--> enblend which turned into enblend-enfuse. Too much functionality would be
--> missing without those packages.

At least this package should be mentioned in the post-install I think.

Created patch to add optdepends for per-exiftool. Verified that it is really optional and it's a dependency. (In the readme the hugin authors write that it is a reqired, but he program works just fine without that)
