+Support for image reading and writing of Repa arrays using in-place FFI calls
+
+The repa-image library adds support for reading and
+writing images in many formats based on the DevIL
+open source image library. Image data is represented in Haskell
+as typed, multi-dimensional repa arrays.
+
+Developer's Image Library (DevIL) is a library to
+develop applications with very powerful image
+loading capabilities, yet with a relatively simple
+interface. DevIL can load, save, convert,
+manipulate, filter and display a wide variety of
+image formats, including:
+    BMP, ICO, JPG, PNG, PNM, TGA, TIF, GIF, EXIF and many more.
