There is one problem though. 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? :)
