Yes.. As I wrote before, it is possible but clumsy to make a thumbnail 
generator in PHP. The best way, IMO, would still be to have a command line 
option in Pingus for generating screenshot of given level , use ImageMagick 
to rescale it and then either use Pingus directly as a CGI script or 
(preferably) always run a local script that updates the thumbnails before 
uploading the new level files on the web server. How about it?
