Okay, I've completed the Gallery administration section of my project.
After thoroughly researching the available alternativs I've decided to
go for integrating the SWFUpload library:

Article in the Bakery:

A working example setup by the author of the above article James
Revillini:

The article at Pagebakery where I originally stumpled upon SWFUpload:

SWFUpload homepage:
http://swfupload.mammon.se/

Basically, the flash movie submits all files one at a time - that
means I had to set up my controller as if just one file was being
uploaded. This is the best part - the SWFUpload library degrades
nicely into a plain file input control if JS / Flash are not enabled.

I've also integrated the phpThumb component for thumbnails generation
at upload time and for adjusting orientation of pictures in the admin
interface.

Here's some of my Image controller:

One thing to note: I couldn't get the upload to work using admin
routes. I've set up othAuth restrictions for all admin-route actions,
and it seems the flash movie request is getting a different session
id. There's a nice hint for tackling this issue by poLK (http://
slun.ic.cz/) here:

... but I couldn't get it to work for me, so I used a non-admin action
for this - Image::upload()

I didn't have similar issues with the ajax request made for rotating
the images.
