Image engines

python-thumbnails uses interchangeable image engines to make it possible to use the imaging framework you like the best. python-thumbnails should have a few to select from. However, if the framework you want to use is not supported. Extend BaseThumbnailEngine to create your own. If you think your engine is valuable to others a pull-request is always appreciated.
