	The "Img" package includes a program named "setback" that
	does this.

	BTW, the latest copy of this software is now on expo.lcs.mit.edu's
	contrib directory as "img.tar.Z".  It's bloated to ~1.4 MB.
	because it includes one sample image for each of four sorts
	of images (24-bit RGB, color mapped, grayscale, & monochrome).
	Since the images stay in compressed form, the tar file grows
	by about 100K when it's uncompressed.
