I'm confused by this discussion. The basic image generation doesn't need to use any third-party tools. We can always have a transformation step /after/ those images are generated that uses third party tools to generate other images. Much like Alfred's shell script. I know it sucks, but unless someone wants to write BSD versions of all of those configuration pieces, we're going to be stuck using external tools to do things. And those things will get eyeballs. -adrian
