This could be pretty CPU-intensive.  I would approach it by calling
action_external_filter from the "filter" routine.  Only call it for
image/* parts.  Then you need to write something (a shell or Perl
script) that reads an image from ./FILTERINPUT, scales it, and puts
the result in ./FILTEROUTPUT.  Take a look at ImageMagick for doing the
resizing.

David.
