btw, all your changes look good.

Did we decided on a standard for which dtypes we will support?
Some of the color conversions can be sped up in Cython with a lut (ala scivi), but we would need to write one func for each dtype.
I am working on a webinar for image processing and am getting back into using th scikit, so there are some things I'm seeing during use that I would like to improve, but would require knowledge of what dtypes to support.

Hi all,
At the SciPy sprint (ages ago), Chris suggested that we clean up the image loading API. The following changes simplify `imread` by removing the `dtype` argument. This allows for simpler plugins. Because `as_grey` is such a commonly used parameter, it is left in place, but now works differently: after the image is loaded, the (new) rgb2grey is simply performed on it.
Please have a look at
