[Seaside] image handling (thumbnails)

[Francois Stephany]

Smagick works well but beware that it blocks the VM when processing an 
image.

For Wapict (images are sometimes ~50mb), I simply have an external queue 
with workers using OSProcess to convert images. Not terribly efficient 
but works well enough.

To generate thumbnails of, say, profile pictures on a website, I don't 
really know what I would use. Have you found any pure-smalltalk image 
manipulation library?
