 * class grfx::GConverter enables graphics files to be converted asynchronously
 * to a loadable format. It does this by building a shell script of all
 * the conversion commands needed for the transformation. This script is then
 * sent to the forked calls controller for non-blocking execution. When it
 * is finished a signal is emitted, thus informing us to proceed with the
 * loading of the image.
 *
 * Ultimately, this class should be wrapped back into Dekel's converter class.
