Stream support.

This lib looks pretty handy, although it would be nice if we could pipe the image transformations directly to the browser with streams.

Something like this.

app.get("/my-dynamic-image", function (req, res) {
    new Jimp("lenna.png", function (err, image) {
         this.resize(512, 512); // resize
         this.pipe(res); // Send off.
    });
});

However I think that the api would be more intuative without forcing a callback into the Jimp constructor, and also making new optional.

app.get("/my-dynamic-image", function (req, res) {
    Jimp("lenna.png")
         .resize(512, 512)
         .pipe(res);
});

This can be done using buffers:

var Jimp = require("jimp");

var express = require("express");
var app = express();

app.get("/my-dynamic-image", function(req, res){
    Jimp.read("lenna.png", function(err, lenna) {
        lenna.resize(64, 64).quality(60).getBuffer(Jimp.MIME_JPEG, function(err, buffer){
             res.set("Content-Type", Jimp.MIME_JPEG);
             res.send(buffer);
         });
    });
});

app.listen(3000);

Can this be made dynamic for all files types like Jpeg, png, bmp? Like, you are using getBuffer(Jimp.MIME_JPEG,function… Can there be a generic input which can take the type of the input file?
