[Image-SIG] PDF to Image conversion

[kevin@cazabon.com]

You'll need a RIP to do this (Raster Image Processor - to convert vector
graphics to raster graphics), and unfortunately PIL isn't a RIP.  However,
you may want to look at GhostScript - a GPL postscript RIP (it does PDF's
now too).  It's cross-platform too, and scriptable.
