Good point. There might be some overhead in using the translator system but
hopefully not too much. We can do some benchmarks to be sure, but even if using
the translators is a bit slower it might still be worth it. At least it
shouldn't affect other ports ;)

One other issue is that the translator system does not yet (and may never)
support animated images. So for GIFs (and other future animated image formats,
MNG, APNG, etc) we would have to fallback to using the WebKit decoders. But I'm
tempted to try to fix that in Haiku...it is just tricky since translators are
for any kind of data not just images.
