Uhm, let's see if I can remember...

First of all, `image-size' used to transmit the entire picture via X, so
I wanted to avoid doing that.  And then I implemented `max-width/height'
both to avoid doing the size computation everywhere, but also to help
with the `image-size' thing.

Then `image-size' was fixed so that it could be used again, but I was
thinking that first decoding a picture with libjpeg (for instance) to
determine the size, and then with ImageMagick to display it, would
probably be slower (due to caching at various levels) and more
error-prone (all libraries have bugs), so I just left it with
ImageMagick.

And now I want to implement resizing in all the decoders, so that we
don't have to use ImageMagick much at all.

See?  Makes sense.  >"?
