Weirdly scaled images (again)

The Dillo user v4hn recently sent a message to this list regarding 
incorrect image scaling.  She or he expresses exactly what I have on my 
mind:

I use Dillo 3.0.4 from the Debian stable repositories and I experience 
the ugly image scaling on many sites, for instance on the two largest 
news (paper) sites here in Sweden:

http://www.dn.se
http://www.svd.se

I can imagine that most people trying out Dillo will find the 
stretched-out images very off-putting. Changing the aspect ratio of an 
image is something you almost never want do do, and changing the aspect 
ratio of a photo is a big no-no. What's your view on this? Do you use 
Dillo with CSS disabled? Actually, I think it would be better if image 
scaling was not implemented at all, rather than broken like this.

I'm not familiar with the Dillo code base but I'm a programmer 
proficient with C and I know some C++, so if I (with some hints) can 
help I would be more than glad to.

August
