I'm using C++ and tend to stick what I already know (which is
GD and ImageMagick) but will check out CImg as well.

If you can provide me with an UMN MapServer style that looks even 
remotely as good as Mapnik state of the art, I will consider it ;-)

I have meanwhile found out that, trivially, I only have to patch the Map 
class's fixAspectRatio method to change the width/height of the map 
instead of changing the geo bbox to fit the aspect ratio. This will
make Mapnik return a map that has a different pixel size from what was 
requested, but covers the exact bbox requested. After that, I can use 
any bitmap graphics lib to stretch/shrink the bitmap into shape.

Bye
Frederik
