sws supports cascaded_context, with that a sws can just spawn multiple
sws to implement a path.
so if a sws can do just colorspace1->colorspace2 and one can scale
colorspace2 you can quite easily make it support
colorspace1 scaling into colorspace2 for example

so anything should be quite add-able into sws that you have an
implementation for
