+ /* estimate how 'well' we could save the 'img'
+ * this is used to rate the different backends for a given image
+ *
+ * e.g. if the user requests saving of an image as <filename>, virtually all backends will have a way to to as requested
+ * however, if filename was "bla.jpg", a TIFF-backend might save as a TIFF-image with a .jpg extension,
+ * which is probably not what the user expected (esp. if there _is_ a JPEG-backend, which for whatever reasons
+ * would only have been called after the TIFF-backend)
+ *
+ * the solution is quite simple: each backend is first asked, how well it could save a given image according to properties
+ * the backend that returns the highest value, will be chosen first; if it fails to save the image
+ * (returning FALSE in the save() function), the backend with the next higher rating will be chosen and so on
+ *
+ *
+ * mimetype and properties are the main factors for rating;
+ * 'mimetype' (string): mimetype of the image; e.g. 'image/jpeg' means 'write the image as JPEG'
+ * if not empty, the mimetype will override all other ways to set the output format (like filename)
+ * even though we only expect mimetypes of type 'image/*', the prefix ('image/') is mandatory
+ * a predefined properties (for legacy reasons) is:
+ * 'quality' (float) : for lossy formats, this is the quality (in percent)
+ *
+ * expected return values:
+ * <=0: 'USE ME IF YOU MUST (but rather not)'
+ * 0 is returned, if the backend expects to be able to save the given image under the given
+ * filename to disk, but it will ignore all properties (including the mimetype!) and will
+ * ignore all file extensions
+ * it is hoped that '0' is never the winner (for any feasible format)
+ * example: saves a TIFF-image as /tmp/foo.doc
+ * 100: 'YES'
+ * 100 is returned, if the plugin knows how to handle the given 'mimetype' property
+ * if 'mimetype' is empty and the plugin has performed an heuristic based on the filename
+ * to determine that the user wants a format that is provided by this very plugin, it can return 100 as well.
+ * however, if 'mimetype' and file extension contradict each other, 'mimetype' wins!
+ * 100+: 'YES, ABSOLUTELY'
+ * every additional property that can be applied, gains an extra point
+ * example: both the JPG and the JPEG2K backend provide saving of jpegs, but only JPG can set the quality
+ * the user requests: filename=img.jpg,mimetype='image/jpeg',quality=20
+ * JPG returns 101, whereas JPEG2K returns 100, so JPG wins and writes
+ * 0..50: the backend knows how to handle some of the properties (but it has no clue about the output format requested
+ * example: filename=img.tif,mimetype='image/tiff',quality=20
+ * JPG knows how to handle the 'quality' property, but not the 'mimetype', so it scores 1 point
+ * TIFF knows how to handle the 'mimetype' but not the 'quality', so it scores 100 points
