No. I wasn't aware. Frankly. I didn't check, as the custom
implementation was already done, and I just replaced the actual
resizing part. I will make a bugzilla entry in the customer project to
come back and check what there is, and maybe replace/use the existing
one. But only when we have a little more time, as for now the code is
working, and I would like to continue with other priorities ;-)

But many thanks for pointing this out.
