[Image-SIG] remove an image background using PIL

[Peter Yen]

Hi Fredrik,

Thanks for your quick response. The background is unknown at the time of
processing. Actually I don't need a very accurate methodology to remove all
background, removing partially is good enough.

imagick has method like floodfill, curious how to do that with PIL.

thanks a lot
