While understandably annoying, last I knew the patent
issue IRT BMFF was not yet resolved for exiv2 (waiting
on RH legal).  As I understand it, once the issue is raised,
one is required to wait for a formal decision to be made,
and there no time frame for that to occur.

If you are willing to strip the sources of the BMFF support
until such time as a decision as to whether to allow it
to be included is made that should be a way forward
more quickly.
