I can put some time into that, e.g. the handlers seem to work. 

I've the impression that both imlib and magick++ are not able to work with
streamed data, in the way that they can do partial displays of the
images.
I've also not found other libraries that can handle many formats and can
handle streamed data. Maybe it is a good thing to add atleast a filter
that gives you a configurable option to do a conversion between images
before that they are displayed. e.g. write the image to file, fork the
converter and read the converted version in.
But for the progressive displayed images i'm afraid we have to use the
current jpeg/gif filter. (The jpeg filter good use some extra error
checking.)
