Well, the PNG has quiote a few compression tricks which have to be
undone when reading it (unless you can send it down to the X server
as-is). So I'd guess that the "bytewise copy of the image file", like
what is in the program image is more like what csource does. When you
read in the image, it will get expanded anyway.
