[Typo3] m.mask

[elias at asb-online.at]

The installation check actually has a bug itself, which I reported an I 
provided a fix for several month ago, and still, I do not see any progress. 

http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=1188

However, yesterday I found out that the whoever was responsible for making IM5 
work was even more mad than I initially thought. I even found code, with the 
intention to fix the issue out of class.t3lib_stdgraphic.php. The code is 
spread all over the classes instead of dealing with the so called invert_mask 
issue at one single place in one single line. 

By the way, for all who still believe the IM5 issue has anything to do with 
the fact that they swapped black and white handling in their mask code: the 
source of the problem is the fact that the order of the command line 
arguments swapped as of version 5. Therefor inverting the mask before the 
actual processing is nonsense and completely unnecessary!

I think the fact that m.mask does not work is based on the same problem. I 
will find out and provide a patch. I just doubt, that anybody will implement 
it, because it seems to be over their head to implement a patch that is 
longer that 3 lines!
