i actually am in need of simply knowing image dimensions as well.  i
even would like a choice of methods to know the image dimensions, for
instance by using gobject or pil.  i already have gobject available but
others might have easier access to the pil.

once there is access to the information, anything else that needs to be
done (for my needs) could be handled in the template loopy things....
