Tim,

I'm not sure what you mean.. We already ship drupal with a image.inc,  
which standard uses GD 2.
If you want the image_gd2_*() functions to be extracted from the  
standard image.inc, I have to disappoint you.. That's not gonna  
happen..

But, if you want to use other toolkits than GD 2, you are free to use  
any of these:
ImageMagick:  
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/image/ 
image.imagemagick.inc
IMagick:  
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/gordon/ 
image.imagick.inc
IMLib:  
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/gordon/ 
image.imlib.inc
GD 1:  
http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/stefan/ 
image.gd1.inc

If I understood you wrong, please send an e-mail again or contact me in  
private..




Stefan.
