There appears to be a seperate $wgUseImageMagick; we may be able to rename
$wgUseImageResize to $wgExtendedImageSyntax, and make sure actual resizing can't
be done if $wgUseImageMagick is false.

$wgUseImageMagick determins whether the built-in GD library is used for scaling
or whether the ImageMagick command line tool is used.

Ah, I thought I might be missing something. Is there any reason not to just
always enable the extended image syntax? We could just put checks on
$wgUseImageResize round bits of code that actually do image resizing. This could
also allow us to have the fallback ability somebody asked for of setting height=
and width= attributes on the image without actually generating a thumbnail.
