(better late than never, but ...)
I've just found Perl's Image::Magick package, aka perlmagick. It gives 
you incredible quality if you use the 'Cubic' option in any scaling 
operation: <http://www.imagemagick.org/www/perl.html>

Image example: 
<http://scruss.com/gallery/renfest2004/d70_20040821_133504a?full=1> -- 
1.1mp image, cubic scaled from 6.1mp original.

cheers,
  Stewart
