Imlib is GPL and therefore we can not put a PHP wrapper into PECL. At the moment a new image processing library is written (both the C library and the PHP extension) which will hopefully be part of PHP before PHP 5 is released. imlib is also kinda deprecated as it's no longer used in gnome (replaced by libart) so it might not be a good idea to re-write an extension for it. Perhaps pierre can finally put pimp online? :) regards, Derick
