This is trivial to do with Zope.  I wrote a "VarImage" product for it
that will do the image manipulation you want handily.  I never really
created a "gallery" product for it because it's so trivial to do with a
regular Zope folder and a couple of scripts, but I would be happy to
share my Gallery template with you  if your interested.

The current version of VarImage even implements things like HTTP_REFERER
blocking (or watermarking if you prefer), to discourage remote-linking
of your images, etc.

An online example can be seen here: http://narya.net/Gallery

Not sure about CGI methods of doing it, though.
