Comment:

 Uploaded a simpler patch which should do the trick for trunk. Somebody
 test it out.

 This does need to be in trunk, IMO. Uploading transparent PNG files only
 to have it mangle their thumbnails is a pretty bad user experience. This
 is a simple patch that just sets some flags in the GD functions if those
 flags are available.
