Commit summary:

(bug 25990) Add VIPS scaling. VIPS is a set of image manipulation tools 
specially designed for speed and low memory usage. This is useful for resizing 
large PNGS.
The extension shells out to the vips binary. It be configured to scale only 
certain files (for example: big PNGs) by configuring $wgVipsConditions.

Currently not very useable on WMF though because vips has a bug with palette 
based images, which I reported upstream but has not yet been fixed.

Comment:

VipsScaler.php:
<pre>+  'url' => 'http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VipsScaler',</pre> Really 
should point to 
<code>http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VipsScaler</code>, yes we can do 
mainspace redirects but that is just messy.

Also this should be documented and created on mw wiki.
