Well, we'll have to do that anyway for non random accessible images (PNG, non
tiled TIFF); they need to be converted to a .v file on disk, and as far as I
know .v is uncompressed.
So if that is your objection to VIPS we need to find another solution, such as
writing a PNG reader that supports random access. Should be possible as the PNG
format is line based (but I don't know about zlib).
