[Zope] Zope & Gimp & Win32

[Joseph Griffin]

Anders,
So then you want to drive Gimp though Zope? You'll still have to come up with a 
predefined set of image properties and dynamically create the Gimp scripts and 
push them with external methods. Or are you thinking of writing a Zope product? 
Curious,
Joseph
