Yes, it should be implemented in ggi, just not in LibGGI.
Image loading should ideally be written as two libraries:
One library that does not use LibGGI and does not know about visuals.
It should dynamicly load readers/writers for different image formats,
and read images into/write imaghes from it's own simple structure
(basicly just width, height, format and a pointer to the data). It
should also be able to convert images between different formats.
The second library should be a simple glue-layer between the first
library an LibGGI. The reason to make two libraries that a generic
image loader/writer that is _not_ tied to any graphics/window system
is badly needed, and the first library will be just that.
