  Imlib 2 is the successor to Imlib.  It is NOT a newer version - it is a
completely new library.  Imlib 2 can be installed alongside Imlib 1.x
without any problems since they are effectively different libraries - BUT
they have very similar functionality.

Imlib 2 does the following:

    * Load/Save image files from disk in one of many formats
    * Render image data onto other images or an X-Windows drawable
    * Produce pixmaps and pixmap masks of Images
    * Apply filters and transformations to images
    * Accept RGBA Data for images and apply colour correction/modifications
    * Alpha blend Images on other images or drawables
    * Render truetype anti-aliased text straight and at angles
    * Render rectangles, anti-aliased lines, and multi-coloured gradients
    * Cache data intelligently for maximum performance
    * Allocate colours automatically
    * Allow full control over caching and color allocation
    * Provide highly optimized MMX assembly for core routines
    * Provide plug-in filter interface
    * Provide on-the-fly runtime plug-in image loading and saving interface
    * Fastest image compositing, rendering and manipulation library for X
