  Nice work! I guess a sample like this is often requested.

  Some minor problem: after you changed the program as you
described above, it would be nice if it was somehow documented
what the code does; especially considering it is sample code.
Might be enough to adjust the usage message.

  Maybe something in the line of:
|
| This program generates a series of pictures, rescales them
| to the given <output size> and finally saves the rescaled
| pictures as PGM files named like outscale<frame number>.pgm.

  I am sure you can improve on my first clumsy attempt, but I
hope you get the idea of my concern.
