Of course -- though you might want to send it direct to Wes yourself
too since it's your work :-) -- but see below.

Great. Thanks Aaron!
What we should also have is something like
BITMAPFAMILY ID 1000 "testbw.bmp" "testgrey.bmp" "testcolor.bmp"
This would put several bit depths into the bitmap resource and the OS
does some magic or other to choose the most appropriate one depending
on the display mode it's running in.
We also should make it read colour PPMs as well as BMPs for the sake of
Unix users.
I may have time to look into these next week, or if anybody else wants
to do it, feel free...
