Done.

I'm wondering whether to make these hard Requires or not.  Obviously you need
some to get extra functionality, but only for the image types you need to
process.  Perhaps just a note in the description?

The problem at the moment with using convert is that you would need a command
like:  convert <file> pnm:-, but the code expects to append the filename to the
end of the command.

The more I look at the code, the less I like it, but I suppose it's developing
and may be useful.

Just need the new spec file:
