Sure, it would also work buffer-locally...

I've now started implementing this.  I guess if an image is 500 pixels
wide, and you've specified a scaling factor of 2, and :max-width is 800
pixels, then you should end up with an image that's 800 pixels wide?

I think that makes most sense.  So the computation of this goes into the
compute_image_size function, and there's a new parameter :scale to
`create-image' that takes a number.

And the new variable is called image-scaling-factor.
