 * I having problems with the thumbnail quality on some images where I’d manually
   defined the thumbnail region. I wanted something a little better than GD’s imagecopyresampled,
   but my hoster doesn’t support imagemagick.
 * In the thumbnail’s class I’ve replaced fastimagecopyresampled with [ImageCopyResampleBicubic](http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresampled.php#78049)
   from the comment thread on imagecopyresampled in the PHP dot net manual. I’ve
   also added the unsharp mask function from [this page](http://vikjavev.no/computing/ump.php).
 * Needless to say it is slower and is only a hack, but the results are nicer than
   GD’s default. Maybe we could have an option to use slow/high quality resampling
   when producing only the thumbnails?
