Ok, I found a sort of command line tool to do it ...
//www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
This will create a text file for each image
exiftool -a -u -g *.jpg -w txt
This will use the names of the fields so you can use them as below
exiftool -a -u -g *.jpg -s -w txt
This will just extract the description for each image
exiftool -a -u -g *.jpg -xmp:description -w txt |

+1 for ExifTool. It's probably the number one tool for working with Exif, IPTC, GPS, and sidecar files (XMP). Many polished applications use ExifTool "under-the-hood" to manipulate the metadata. I use GeoSetter for geotagging my images and it transparently uses ExifTool.
