Daniel Berrange suggested we use gdk-pixbuf for saving into various
formats and scaling support. If we make it optionnal, it brings a few
more dependencies although the library itself is fairly small (140k,
but adds gobject), and we would gain optionnal support for other
formats (noteably jpeg) and scaling.
