Snippet smushit

This snippet expects to be used as an output filter in the following format:

This will use pthumb to resize the image and then smush it to optimise the file. The thumbnail image is overwritten once and from then on is optimised. This affects first uncached performance so you should review if this is worthwhile. After caching it runs fine and then helps the page load speed by using the new files.

As this is a first release, your feedback and requests are welcome.
