User-friendly cropping of post thumbnails?

The code is still a mess, but it seems to work, even on IE 8. I plan to release it in the repository, but in the meantime you can play with my current version. To access it you click the “Edit Image” when adding or editing an image, it replaces the usual image editor (they are very hard to combine). Since most of the admin area uses the regular thumbnail and my current version edits the post thumbnail, it might seem the code has no effect, but try it by showing a post thumbnail and you should see it change.

This plugin requires my On-Demand Image Resizer, which is also still a mess, to do the actual resizing.
