It is definitely a lot simpler to just set this parameter to some big value
and generate new images from scratch since the overhead in space consumption
is not an issue in this case. But let's say, in my case the purpose of using
such a resizing tool is not space optimization, but fixing a former
decision...

I still need to think about whether or not it is worth the effort to write a
resizing tool. Should I decide to make it, I'll first ask around on this list
to provide some suggestions about the features that could and should be
supported while at it. Don't hold your breath, though. :)

Best regards,
