Hello everyone,

We've made a PHP binding for the libvips image processing library.

https://github.com/jcupitt/libvips

libvips is interesting because it is fast and needs (relatively)
little memory. I made a tiny benchmark here:

https://github.com/jcupitt/php-vips-bench

On that test (and on this laptop), php-vips is four times faster than
imagick and needs 10x less memory. libvips is becoming widely used for
resizing image proxies and it's the library behind the most popular
node.js image resizing module.

Our PHP binding comes in two parts. There's an extension here that
does the low-level link to the libvips library:

https://github.com/jcupitt/php-vips-ext

And a pure PHP thing here that tries to layer a nice API on top of that:

https://github.com/jcupitt/php-vips

I'd like to get the extension part added to PECL. Does this look like
a suitable project?

John
