I am still looking through the plug-ins, but I can see one obvious problem
in the WPG one. Under most unix C compilers, structure members are
aligned, so the WPGHead32 structure will not be the same size all the
time:
typedef struct {
guint8 Type;
guint8 Dummy;
guint32 Size;
} WPGHead32;
at least under linux, an extra 2 bytes of padding will go in between the
Dummy and Size members. This means that you can't just write the
structure to the file directly. I guess this wasn't a problem under
win32, as it doesn't align structure members.
