Cropping Options for Filebrowser 3

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Added some additional cropping options to the crop and scale functions in
Filebrowser 3. Options include starting the crop from the top_left,
top_right, bottom_left or bottom_right corners of the image. See .diff for
more details.

I´ve done a bit of testing (sorry that it took so long) and I´m having a 
problem with
"crop upscale". somehow that doesn´t seem to work as expected. maybe you wanna 
check
your code (maybe it´s just a misunderstanding about the behaviour). thanks.

currently i am monkeypatching with this code to add another option "extent" 
which lets 
the picture keep its ratio, but puts it in the middle of the new picture - 
which 
exactly has the size expected.

@sehmaschine should we add the extent option?

Any thoughts on implementing Jcrop for thumbnails?  Aspect ratio could be 
locked to thumbnail specs etc, Someone just posted a Jcrop form on Snippets 
http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2316/ 

Use case: 
1. Client is photographer, art director etc and needs control of cropping..  

I don't think rotating or further manipulation is necessary (can be done in PS, 
Gimp etc).  But for image-centric sites, loosing control of cropping options -- 
especially when locked into a specific dimensions -- is pretty big deal.

I just started playing with adding jcrop; I don't think it should be 
particularly difficult.  I'd be up for doing it 'correctly' and submitting a 
patch.

Any thoughts on how exactly the interface should work?  I rather like 
django-cropper, where you can manually specify the x/y/width/height if desired.

if someone wants to submit a patch:
1. it should work on the detail-page (probably below flip/rotate).
2. manually specifying the dimensions is important.
3. the actual cropping should NOT be done before I click "save".
4. renaming and flip/rotate should work together with cropping.

thanks,
patrick
