Hmm, the example images they give get really distorted a lot by their
process (see, for example, the letter-shape which changes *drastically*).

It would, nevertheless, be interesting, and the name (and output) looks as
if they were doing some vectorization here. OTOH, the warp-sharp script
for Gimp could result in quite similar results.

Does anyone know the algorithms used by program S-spline to scale
bitmaps.
