I think GEM has a pretty decent pixel processing API already.  It takes 
about 90 seconds to write the necessary setup calls from scratch for 
most objects and the rest of the time is spent doing the pixel mangling 
stuff.  It handles both computer and video native color spaces too, 
which seems like a rarity.
