example images and their histograms

I did a more thorough check of the patch, and find quite
a few cases, where it does not work optimally:
(A) too much is cut-off
(B) not enough is cut-off to the right
(C) too much is cut-off
(D) too much is cut-off

Maybe one should only use the largest 10% and lowest 10%
to detect blown out high-lights and shadows and
regard everything else as normal contents?

Unless there are any values which are being clipped, I would
suggest to always leave 2-3% of the height just blank,
so that it is clear, when something is clipped.

If you revise the patch, I am perfectly happy to test it again
(maybe we can still sneak it into the release candidate for 0.9.2 ;-)
