It did.  3 worked, but only if I left "outpath" unspecified.  It doesn't
seem to be able to find the files to tar up if they aren't in the
current directory.

The SVN version of the image package is up and running, and now I don't
have to implement seperable erosions. The upstream work is much more
elegant than anything I would have hacked together.
