Perhaps... but speaking as the guy who wrote gd, it really isn't the
ideal way to turn a lot of big originals into thumbnails! (And neither
is ImageMagick.) gd and imagemagick shine when you want to add text
and other elements to an image and you're not struggling with giant
originals and memory constraints.

Also multiple back ends in a single plugin tend to lead to diverging
featuresets, which is what happened with sfThumbnailPlugin.

But I'll give it some thought.

pkImageConverterPlugin does work in older Symfony versions.
