We need image for a lot more then just game dev. Without it, we will 
never get a GUI toolkit. Web dev will also suffer, barcode generation 
anyone?

Any high performance program including web development requires 
allocators and friends. In fact, right now allocators are the only way 
to do web development in D properly. With having each request able to 
allocate things temporarily and have it auto deallocate without the GC 
being a burden.

Gl3n, we need to get that into Phobos. My knowledge of math isn't good 
enough to do it. But it should already be pretty reliable on that side 
of things. It just need to be modified to Phobos standards/requirements.

It's an old library, but a damn good one. We would be stupid to not get 
it in. People are remaking it poorly as it is.
