I will post in the plib in the plib devel list just to make sure we can
go ahead with this, but before i would like to know what exactly do we
want and have someone double-check the specs and issues, i'm not an
OpenGL guru or something like that ;)
I just found this:
http://www.gamasutra.com/features/20051228/sherrod_01.shtml
apparently current compression could be doubled at the expense of awful
alpha channel compression, which most of the time we don't use anyway AFAIK
We could also figure a way to tag individual files to choose their
compression type (or no compression at all for some extreme cases). I
see that .sgi has a few dummy fields we could use (altough that would
break the spec, they should be NULL), but that's just another crazy idea :)
Cheers

anyone by default are relatively easy to get in.
Apart from that: has already someone asked Steve? Otherwise this
discussion will lead nowhere.
