Nice!

Still you left `tumme-quote-bad-characters' in there... :) (sorry,
couldn't resist).

Anyway, I guess the red herring was in the first part of your
suggestion:

   Maybe a better choice would be to turn
   tumme-cmd-create-temp-image-options into a list of strings or
   something like that

It was the `call-process' part that was important, not really changing
anything about that option.

I'll play with your example when I have the time, thanks!
