Image thumbnails are badly aliased

[GoogleCodeExporter]

IR+ 2.0.8 uses java.awt.image.AffineTransformOp to generate JPEG thumbnails.  
The quality of the thumbnails it produces is poor; the attached files show that 
a thumbnail generated by GraphicsMagick is much better.

Unfortunately, I don't know the Java world well enough to know what 
alternatives might be available.  It would be nice to go with a one-line call 
to GraphicsMagick or ImageMagick -- if available -- but I suppose that's out of 
the question given the nature of Java programming.

One possiblity is to add the ability to configure IR+ to use image magic if 
available.
