Patch for backgrounded copyright text

[Arne]

Hi everybody,

on my search for an gallery i finally stumbled over a::g and i liked it. But
prefer to have a copyright-text which can always be read so i added support
for text with background.

A patch is attached. It's patched against the source from the debian-package
in testing (v. 0.99-svn050524-1), as that's the one i had. I know that that
was sub-optimal. If needed i can diff it to another source.

An addidional variable is added:
GalleryCopyrightBackgroundColor 'r,g,b,a'
If it exists a colored rectangle in the specified color is drawn beneath the
actual text.

I use it to have my white text surrounded by a transparent black box, so that
it's visible on white areas of the pictures.

An example can be found here:

Hope anyone finds it useful.

Can't you do the same just by having your copyright image have the desired
background color with a fitting alpha level?

Most probably.
But there might be reasons why a feature to add a text instead of an image
exists.

Wow, its great. Why to open my Favourite Image Editor (TM) only to
write text? I think this is great! Thanks for it.

Well, i fact it was the latest svn version, since 2 weeks ago i pulled a new
revision and turned to be the same i had already uploaded.
