What information to you want to insert, and how do you want faxinfo to
"know" what it is.

faxinfo knows about a specific set of TIFF TAGS that are used.  If you
wan to change the information faxinfo displays, you just have to change
the values of the contents of the particular tag.

The tags faxinfo know about are:
	TIFFTAG_FAXRECVPARAMS (special case)
	TIFFTAG_COMPRESSION
	TIFFTAG_XRESOLUTION
	TIFFTAG_YRESOLUTION
	TIFFTAG_RESOLUTIONUNIT
	TIFFTAG_IMAGEWIDTH
	TIFFTAG_IMAGELENGTH
	TIFFTAG_IMAGEDESCRIPTION
	TIFFTAG_FAXSUBADDRESS
	TIFFTAG_DATETIME
	TIFFTAG_FAXRECVTIME

HylaFAX doesn't come with any tools to do this for you.
