QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Tom,

The alpha channel idea is a pretty big change and I'm not sure how I'd
even do it on the Mac -- alpha channels are not standard I/O features.

But split-tone capability (based on density) is a lot more useful.   So 
my
idea is to do it all together -- 3 curves and 3 blends (highlights, 
mid, shadows).
This should fit into people's current workflow.
