Hi,

I will have to take some time to properly respond to your message. Until then, 
I'll just answer the things that immediately caught my eye:

If you do a perl hack, you might consider improving on the Image::KimDaBa cpan 
module. The module is quite outdated, but maybe it can be turned into 
something useful again...

IMO this would be better handled by an external script.

Sorry for not answering the other points yet -- Maybe Miika or Jesper have 
some thoughts on these...

Cheers,
