Following this discussion I started development of an image processing module without runtime dependencies.
https://github.com/EyalAr/lwip Features: 1. No runtime dependencies. No need to pre-install anything. 2. All image operations are done with a native C++ module. 3. Lots of syntactic sugar in Javascript land. 4. Batch operations on an image. 5. Get encoded image data as a NodeJS Buffer object. Clone the repo and `cd lwip && npm install`. Installation with npm will be available when v0.0.1 is released (see the milestone). Everybody is welcome to check it out, help with development and post issues.
