Scaling pictures

[cyberco]

PIL is certainly a fine option, but I noticed that the scaled images
(scaled with the ANTIALIAS filter) are not as good as you can get with,
say, Photoshop. Maybe I'm just expecting too much, but I wish I could
choose a higher quality rescaling algorithm. PIL still rocks though.
