Changes:
- Changing composite behaviour: Composite tags are now included as
  standard!
- New method MiniExiftool.opts which returns a hash of the standard
  options used for MiniExiftool.new
- New option :convert_encoding for MiniExiftool.new which uses the
  -L-option of the exiftool command-line application (see online
  documentation for it)
  Thanks to Henning Kulander for the causing of this change.
