I've been running some tests with my Photo product that uses PIL and
comparing it to the output of mogrify and I can barely tell any difference
in any of the rendered images.  I've resized 1024x768 JPG to 480x'whatever'
and 128x'whatever' and I don't see enough difference to say ImageMagick is
better.  In fact, parts of the image seem better with PIL and other parts
with IM.  Am I missing something?  What options should I be using for
mogrify?

If people are disatisfied with PIL resizes, I'd like to provide an
alternative, but IM isn't nearly as Python friendly.
