Inserting _BIT_maps, not _PIX_maps

Hello all,
    Anybody know an easy way to insert an X11 bitmap into a buffer?
add-graphic-zone expects an xpixmap, and I've got the converters to go from
xbm to xpm, buts its kind of convoluted (xbmtopbm | pbmtorast | rasttoppm |
ppmtoxpm) and slow.  Converting a gif is more direct & faster (giftoppm |
ppmtoxpm).
    I figure there must be an easier way, since the primitives are there to
read in a bitmap and set the XXX-stipple to it.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, I couldn't locate one anywhere this early in the
morning. :)

Thanks,
    Bill Perry

PS: its so I can support inlined gif & bitmaps for my World Wide Web
browser for emacs.
