I've compiled and built it into a command line tool at this point.  
Aside from a warning about using the deprecated header "ostream.h"  
and a warning about "deleting TIFFVoid* is undefined", it compiled  
and built straightaway as an Xcode C++ Tool project.

So far, I've run it on a *ist DS PEF file using the following command  
line in Terminal:

   > ./ShowTagsX ~/Photos/TestFiles/IMGP6074 > ~/Desktop/IMGP6074-PEF- 
output.txt

That creates the "IMGP6074-PEF-output.txt" text file on the desktop  
which opens nicely with the BBEdit  editor and displays a whole mess  
of Main IFD, EXIF IFD and MakerNote data. Now I have to figure out  
what all that stuff means and compare it to a few of the K10D files ...

Here are the files:
example PEF rendered to JPEG
   http://homepage.mac.com/godders/IMGP6074.jpg
example pef EXIF pulled out by EXIF-O-Matic
   http://homepage.mac.com/godders/IMGP6074-EXIF.html
output of ShowTagX
   http://homepage.mac.com/godders/IMGP6074-output.txt
ShowTagX command line tool (in a Disk Image file):
   http://homepage.mac.com/godders/showtagx.dmg

Once I get it sorted out, I'll think about whether I want to put in  
the time to wrap this into a useful UI, etc.  It is a largish effort  
as I will need to unwrap all the code that extracts the data and  
separate it into something that presents the data in a more  
digestible, windowing system manner rather than a simple text stream.

Thanks for posting the source, John!
