Haksell Platform proposal: Add JuicyPixels

[Gregory Collins]

I'm ambivalent about this one.

Pros:

   - fits a niche we're missing
   - reasonably good test suite (86% expression coverage)
   - API looks ok

Cons:

   - no reverse dependencies on Hackage (besides JuicyPixels-repa)
   - benchmarks would be nice -- how competitive is it performance-wise to
   e.g. imagemagick or imlib?
   - only a handful of file types supported

Additionally: the haddocks are okay, but not great. (Although the image
encoded in the data url in the cabal description is super cool! I had no
idea haddock could do that). More examples would be welcome in a library
like this, e.g. showing the loading, processing, and saving of an image.
