Fine with me. I’d considered something similar for the NS port a while
back.
In actual fact what I’d wondered about was whether it would be
possible to delegate the image loading routine to a module, so it
would be possible to have, say, an imagemagick module, or a gd module,
or whatever and if someone wanted to use one they could just load it.
But I don’t know if modules would be suitable and I never investigated
it.
It would probably require significantly more upheaval than what we’re
talking about here.
