If anyone wants to give me feedback on what should be done to get this included
in the offcial distribution, please do. 

open issues:
- file loading restricted to inside game dir
- would be better to just render before everything else, rather than using
blend. This means either adding a "before everything else" version of the 2d
window hook, or putting it in the core. I would be happy to make a patch to do
either.
- the current toolbar button ui is a bit ugly, in that it adds a bunch of
buttons that most people won't need most of the time. This could be simplified
by just allowing one image, which can be displayed in any of the 3 views. Or, if
the code went into the editor, there wouldn't be the various restrictions of the
plugin toolbar.
