Even easier is to convert .bmp to .pnm by an external utility. For 
example, `convert' from the ImageMagick suite (www.imagemagick.org) can do 
this.

What would you like to do with the images? The GdkPixbuf bindings provided
by the RGtk2 package allow you to read both types of images. In conjunction
with the cairoDevice package, you could mix the image with R graphics.

Another way might be to use some Java library via rJava and use the Java
graphics device.
