I don't think this is a very good idea; I think any picture-reading
library should be separate, and not tied to svgalib or any other
`display' library. Ok, maybe it could be written/maintained by
svgalib-friendly folks :-), that kind of thing, but separately. IMHO.

This isn't really something I'm terribly interested in working on, to
be honest, but I'd be happy for my code to be reused/hacked/etc. where
it's useful. (I'm also willing to consider alternative licences if GPL
isn't suitable, but I can't do that for the BMP code since I didn't
write all of it (not even close).)
xzgv might be worth looking at, BTW - it doesn't read as many formats
itself, but the code is generally not quite as unpleasant.
