**
** This class adds some image manipulation routines for QImage objects.
** Please note, that you need FreeImage(Plus) installed in order to have
** some usefull functionality.
**
** However I created this class so it would compile also without this
** library only missing the functionality and thus falling back onto
** the standard functions (E.g. resize becomes the standard RESIZE_QT)
