don't cover installation - belongs in README or INSTALL

+- rename lib/Imager/Cookbook.pm to lib/Imager/Cookbook.pod (done)
+
- add 5 more recipes to Imager::Cookbook
- implement i_incomplete for png and gif files.
- multiple examples for writing GIF images.
- name arguments and use those names in the documentation

+ (available for FT1, freetype2, T1, Win32)
- easy interfaces for text output:
- align text around point, including:
- arc outlines
+- filled/outlined ellipses and elliptical arcs
+
+ Complexities include:
+
+ a) when drawing a pie segment, are the angles specified the real
+ angles (since the scaling changes the angles if you just use sin() and
+ cos() directly) or the angle before scaling? I can see cases where
+ both are useful.
+
+ b) can you control the angles of the axes of symmetry? (the axes would
+ remain at right angles to each other) Does this change the effect of
+ the d1 and d2 parameters?
+
- complex lines/curves:
- thick lines:
- dotted/dashed lines
- provide patches for libgif and libungif that fix their bugs
and give a useful extension interface. Probe for the
installation of the patches in Makefile.PL to let gif.c
- know what features it can use.
+ know what features it can use. (no need anymore)
- Add options for pnm writer to save in any of the p1..P6
formats. Even if the input has 1 channel, write 3 and such
- read more metadata from images, esp tiff tags, EXIF format information
from TIFF and JPEG.
-- handle 16-bit/sample pgm/ppm files
+- handle 16-bit/sample pgm/ppm files (done)
- "jpeg lossless rotation" - directly manipulates the JPEG
