Before Caolan sees this and gives you 10 pages on why imlib is bad...
imlib was crap, it was evil, bloated, spawns off external utils when you
least expect it, and generally it was written by Rasterman, who although
some may see as a God they have never tried to work on anything he has
laid his hands upon, the guy couldn't code something simply if he was
paid... and someone actually did pay him for some of this stuff ...
