Happy thoughts. :D

Note that face detection alone doesn't work well for all images, so we
should also have a way for images to override the focal point for cropping
purposes. This could be implemented as parser functions that save page
properties (thus giving them standard editing/versioning/audit trail) and
give them a nice user-friendly UI for seeing/overriding the crop points.
