Yeah, I keep thinking about this.

I'm not sure there's a really good reason why PHP shouldn't come with
best-in-class image support, if it's available - which it sounds like it
is; libvips looks more modern, lower memory and CPU overhead, better

Yeah, it has dependencies. Doesn't everything? Does it matter, as long as
they're bundled?
