That one really *is* experimental. Please leave it marked as such.

I have mixed feelings about these.  They do work, but the code is so
tangled that at some point we may have to rip it apart and re-do it.
To me that deserves the "experimental" label.  But it is the code
layout, rather than the actual user interface or capability that 
might change.  So I don't know that the experimental nature needs to
be exposed to the user during ./configure.

I don't even know what that 'verify' one does.
Is it worth marking this separately from the image processing proper?
