Well, the PBMPLUS toolkit contains a whole bunch of "loaders" for
different formats, but you probably know that! Jim, could you clarify
something for me? I don't think I see the point of making xloadimage
understand more than a few representative formats. Am I missing
something? Can you explain the logic? I mean, I don't have anything
against duplication of effort so long as someone else is doing the
duplicating -- I'm just curious as to whether PBMPLUS could be
improved somehow.
