Odd-size rescaling was a feature explicitely requested by Michael. I'm
not against adding an option to make it only issues even-sized image though.

A yet better solution would be to make the output size parametric
(IIRC there is already a patch by Baptiste for that in the ML), and
now that the eval API is public there is no excuse for not working on
it.
