Interesting.

Another question:
I would like to use the ImageMagick MagickWand api to support djvu,
because then I could, as it seems, be easy to do other image operations in Emacs
I'd like to do, scaling, croping, etc.

Any opinions on this? ImageMagick is free software, has GPL compatible
license, and seems nice. image-dired already relies on ImageMagick.
