I would really appreciate it if you would take a closer look at the scaling 
code and maybe make it use the iterators and maybe clean it up a little bit. 
I really doubt that I could do that in the near future because I have to do 
the computer administration at our institute now (the old admin has finished 
his Ph. D.), which will probably take me a lot of time and my coding skills 
are really not that good.

The code is ported from the Graphic Gems book (I really did not change that 
much...). There, it is also explained how the code works (the basic principle 
is not that hard to understand, but this version of the code actually 
precomputes the filters to speed the scaling up and I don't really understand 
how this works. I guess it is not that complicated, I just did not take the 
time to work it out and I am not that good at understandig code). In case you 
need the graphics gems article, I copied it and I could scan it for you. The 
source code from the book is available on the website (search for graphic 
gems in google). 

You would really do me a favour, if you could improve the code to make use of 
the iterators.

Take care,
Michael
