Photomosaics

[Lorenzo Milesi <lorenzo milesi yetopen it>]

Hi

I've realized an extension to F-Spot which allows the creation of photo
mosaics [1] using MetaPixel [2].

Actually it's at a first stage, but working.
It just asks the temporary location for the miniatures (they're not
regenerated every time), the size of the minis and the tag to use for
generating the miniatures. Then creates a mosaic of the pictures
selected in the main window. May go wrong if not supported image types
are submitted (!= (jpg, png)).
Later I will try to get a nice-to-see option window with all the
available switches.

Since it's my first experience of something which is not a simple patch,
comments and critics are welcome.

If someone wishes to try it, the addin is available on bugzilla [3].
Please install MetaPixel before running this extension. It doesn't check
if the executable is available.

Ciao!

P.S. many thanks to Stephane and to Miguel for their extensions, from
which I've taken inspiration and (most of all) code :-)
