ulis, 2003-12-06. A proc to expand an image.

David Easton, 2003-12-8, improved colour plane creation speed

ulis, 2004-02-05. Added expand2, a proc that manages also the alpha channel. (to be improved for coef > 1.25)

How it works
  It works by linear interpolation:

  p x- 0 -x- 1 -x- 2 -x             <- pixels of original image
    |     \     \     \
    |      \      \      \
    |       \       \       \       <- pixels correspondence
    |        \        \        \
    |         \         \         \
  P x- 0 -x- 1 -x- 2 -x- 3 -x- 4 -x <- pixels of expanded image
    |     .   | .     . |   .     |
    |  3  . 2 |1.  3  .1| 2 .  3  |
    |  -  . - |-.  -  .-| - .  -  | <- weights
    |  3  . 3 |3.  3  .3| 3 .  3  |

  P0 = p0 * 3/3
  P1 = p0 * 2/3 + p1 * 1/3
  P2 = P1 * 3/3
  P3 = P1 * 1/3 + p2 * 2/3
  P4 = P2 * 3/3

  Each pixel of the expanded image is the sum of the (linearly) corresponding pixels
  of the original image, weighted as above.
  Integer coefficients can be optimized (the pixels are block-duplicated).
  Fractional coefficients result in a blurred image that need to be slightly crisped.
