Rejecting this. Turns out the seam carved thumbnails look horrible. Pretty obvious now that I think about it, but resizing a typical photograph to a typical thumbnail is a fairly large change...well beyond what seam carving could be expected to handle.

Probably something to be slated for Ansel 2 / PHP5 code. Use ImageMagick's ability to easily produce decent seam carvings to generate better thumbnails. Probably most useful for "flickr-like" gallery views where we would want identically sized thumbnails - this would help increase the odds that something "interesting" is in the cropped/resized thumbnail
