Add ability to use smallest image by default [#1361628]

Basic idea is. Have a checkbox inside the imagecache preset that would read something along the lines: "Use smallest image based on scaling options found @ /admin/settings/imagecrop"

I'm working on a UberCart site and this option would come in handy. There are a lot of images to crop that all have forced sizes so the images can be used inside a grid view and look consistent.
Ideally it would be nice if the image defaulted to scale down to the smallest setting. Than if the editor wanted to they could edit the crop and scale up.

I spent a little time looking through the code trying to figure it out. If you could point me in the right direction I might be able to figure it out and provide a patch.

I never got around to getting it to work. I can cheat and set the imagecache preset to resize / crop after they select a crop but when the user edits the image it wont have the same selections as what is being shown. This would only happen for the first crop so not really a big deal. I'm now starting to use d7. Maybe i'll look @ that code and see if I can accomplish this in the d7 version.
