Unless I am missing something signal requires image because of the use 
of padarray in marcumq (a change that I strongly disagreed with at the 
time and still consider a serious yech).

Regardless padarray is a general sort of tool and quite valuable if used 
as designed.  It is actually a fairly nice bit of code.  If it is going 
to be used as a general-purpose sort of tool it should be in a 
general-purpose sort of package.  So move it out of image and into some 
general-purpose package.
