Hello,

  Sorry for the late response, I'm currently performing some benchmarks
against imagemagick and should be able to get them by the week-end. For the
number of image type supported, yes there are few. But the most important
are there : the JPG/PNG/BMP/GIF combo is here.

 For the reverse dependencies point, I expect the library to be used in
end-user programs which might not end up on Hackage, but that's only my
view point. And I'm probably partly responsible due to the limited
publicity around this library.

 For the Haddock part, I'm more than willing to put some effort into it. I
would really like Haskell to be able to manipulate images "out of the box"
by default.

   Thanks
