ANN: imageio v1.0

[Steven Silvester]

Almar,

This is a very interesting project indeed.  

We included a copy of Christophe's `tifffile.py` in our repo and are using 
that within our PIL plugin for loading TIFF files.

We have an interest in minimizing our dependencies, especially when 
considering our Debian packaging.

I could see perhaps *vendoring* ImageIO to replace `skimage.io` and 
requiring FreeImage as the only external dependency.

Stéfan would have to weigh in on that.


Regards,

Steve
