Orgasmic.  It just gets better all the time.  We could hook into Panoramic
or Mosaic builders.  Goodness, we could even hook  .... PhotoShop.

The downside is of course that it's a portal virus makers. If we had a web
site on which people could publish actions for anyone to download, this
would be an invitation for hackers.  Mind you, it's really Python that
exposes the security risk - not Phatch.
