Why just ppm?

Is there any reason that the GRAPHICS_ZONES stuff just uses PPM files,
and doesn't read in PBM files as well, assigning them the current
foreground and background colours as their two colours?

What I was thinking of doing (if I ever get time) is hacking vm to call
a faces-like script to display an xface in the buffer if appropriate.
Being able to read in the xbm file directly would be handy ...
