Remove duplicate face tags

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Picasa detects and allows duplicate face tags. The current picface code seems 
to reconcile this issue when saving as XMP, however the duplicates are still 
present in the .picasa.ini file. Maybe if the user has selected the Picasa 
"Store name tags in photo" option, picface can ensure that no face tags exist 
in the .picasa.ini after the conversion. Needs a bit more research, but I think 
something should be done to reduce or eliminate duplicate person tags for the 
same person in an image.

More detail: If a face is tagged in XMP from Windows Live Photo Gallery, Picasa 
detects the tag but also adds its own face recognition (larger size face area). 
There should be some way to reconcile these two face tags (i.e. if one encloses 
the other, use the bigger one).

In V2 I want to "synchronize" the two types of tags, making the size of them 
equal. I expect this issue to be solved then (but maybe this solution generates 
new problems, let's see what Picasa makes out of it)
