Howdy folks. I just finished the first version of my ruby zoomify  
module. It chunks up images into tiles suitable for viewing using the  
zoomify flash application. It’s pastied here:

I’d really welcome comments on the code. In particular, if there are any  
rmagick/JPEG experts about, I’ll note that the tiled image files this  
produces are considerably larger than those generated by python’s PIL,  
even though I’m using the same quality output (90%). Any suggestions for  
improving that would be super.
