Multiple Image uploads + client side cropping

Unfortunately, the only out-of-the-box component we have for uploading images only allows you to upload 1 image at-a-time.  There is no generalized image cropping mechanism available to hook into either. :(  Boo!  That's 2 strikes.  

These are definitely things we should add into the core product at some point.  I hate to give you the "log an idea" line, but I'm gonna -- but at least I did a search first and found an existing idea (for bulk image-upload) that you can up vote (I even added a kudo myself):

The original avatar image-cropping logic was actually an idea that we implemented:

There is no idea around adding a way to hook into the image cropping logic that we added for avatars for other images, so please add one if you'd like (post it here and I'll give it a kudo).
