Think we understood that from your first mail! What i wanted to stree out is that exif uses functions from mbstring if present. That means if mbstring is not present it does not use these and the user has to do that stuff for his own. If mbstring is compiled as a shared extension both exif and mbstring will work together perfectly but exif cannot use mbstring even though it is present and that might/WILL be confusing to users.
