    //  more than XML.  The NewXmp method returns an XML document with
    //  the standard XMP boilerplate.

    //  Add some properties...
    success = xmp.AddSimpleStr(*xml,"Iptc4xmpCore:Chilkat","Blah blah");
    //  If you wish to view the XML, save it to a file and review it
    //  with a text editor:

    //  To add the XMP to the JPG (or TIFF), simply load the JPG,
    //  append the XMP, and save:
