Detailed Description

**********hmmmmm THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!!

image data can be:

1. in memory and needed
2. in memory and not needed, needtoregenerate==0
3. not in memory and needed. needtoregenerate==1
4. not in memory and not needed. needtoregenerate==1 doneForNow() will put it in 2 if it was in 1, and do nothing if it was in 3 getImageData() will put it in 1 from any other state

when it is in 2, there needs to be background cache management to free the data if memory is low and it has the oldest access time, putting it into 3.

in states 1 and 3, it is not managed by any cache manager

In order for cache manager to accept an object, is must have able_to_regenerate==1

Todo:

***** think about this!! Imlib2 does memory caching already... how I wonder?
