  Description     : A fast image processing library with low memory needs for Lua

 This Lua module implements bindings for VIPS using LuaJIT's FFI module.
 .
 VIPS is a fast and efficient image processing system.

Upstream is the same as vips, so it makes sense to package it too.
This software can easily be used in nginx/lua to provide a full-featured
image transformation HTTP service, among other things.
I will maintain it within the Lua Team, and am already planning on using it too.
