I don't think gdk-pixbuf has that function yet - probably easy to copy the
Imlib code, if nothing else. (Havoc listens for the sound of Federico
screaming...)

IIRC Owen said he might even take this function for GdkRGB in Gdk 1.4, but
I may recall wrong. Maybe he said he'd take the
snarf-pixmap-and-do-alpha-composite function, but that function includes
this simpler function. :-)
