The most information on this is in the headers in the SDK.
However my unpqa program has to do this, so I have a converter that
changes bitmaps into pgms (the code is there for 4bpp and 8bpp, but no
colormaps and it would need some tweaking).
However that is a good question - how does compression work for other
than 1bpp? I've followed what I think was the spec.
