Hi all,

I've pushed two new features related to zooming that raise certain
questions about defaults.  The first feature is the command
image-zoom-to-fit, bound to 'C-x %'.  It toggles zoom-to-fit mode of an
image document, when the image is larger than the viewport.  Previously
the only way to use this mozilla feature was to click on the image.

Somebody told me that most of the major browsers use zoom-to-fit on large
images by default.  Now that we have a way to toggle the mode with the
keyboard, the choice is before us whether Conkeror should have zoom-to-fit
as a default.  (The pref browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing controls
this.)

The second feature is zoom_widget, a new mode-line widget that displays
the zoom status of the current buffer.  For practical purposes,
image-zoom-to-fit is considered a form of zooming, and is reported by this
widget.  The widget itself may still need some tweaking, as making sure
mode-line widgets are updated at the appropriate times is always a tricky
thing.  However, having this mode-line widget raises the question of
whether it should be enabled by default.

Thoughts?
