And I've got one written in Cython. I'd been thinking of contributing it 
to ndimage, but never got around to it -- but I'd be glad to share. Let 
me know if you want it.

Does it have common use=-cases outside image processing? If not, then 
no, it shouldn't be in numpy.

I don't think you need all of scipy to use the ndimage toolkit -- at 
least I hope not.
