If you could guarantee that that the space around the image was *truly*
white (or some other solid color) and the images were not huge then this
*might* be possible to some extent.  However, many images, most notably
JPEGs, can have color variations in the white space due to compression,
which makes this a tough thing for Rev to do natively if you want it done
fast.  The other issue is, if the white space is irregular, then you
basically need to sample virtually every point around image, looking for
non-white-space color changes.  Again, I might be wrong but I think this
would be hard to do natively if it needs to be fast.

I know Chipp Walters of Altuit was working with some kind of Photoshop-like
algorithms or libraries -- maybe he has some insight.
