I poked with this logic a little, trying to understand how to make
bits ordering be same as platform.
But its quite confusing.

I'm not really happy seeing in C sources, a routines which reordering
bitmap bytes before putting them on screen, and then reverting them
back.
See ioShowDisplay(),  reverse_image_words(), reverse_image_bytes() functions.

If depth filed of form is negative, it indicates that form's bitmap is
stored in little endian format, and if positive - in big endian.
