Haksell Platform proposal: Add JuicyPixels

[Vincent Berthoux]

Regarding the API revision, the last one was a 'future proofing' one : Up
until now, the image data type was only able to handle images with byte as
basic component. With the the major breakage of the 3.0 version it has
become feasible to introduce other bit depth. For example 32bit floating
point has been introduced for the radiance format in this framework.

As the long term goal was to be in the Haskell Platform, I made these
modification _before_ the proposal. So the API should remain stable, and
I'd like to point out that the "Image" data type which is the core of the
library and the different reading and writing functions didn't change since
the 1.0 version of the library.
