I have no plans to port this to GTK+ 2.0, until it's in debian.  I'm
writing this to manage textures in nautilus, so I guess I'll just hold
onto it until it's been tested more.  I wonder how you're supposed to
support headerless formats denoted by file extention?  It seems like gdk
frowns on nonheadered formats - which I can understand, but you can to
byte checks compared to fseek(END) to make sure your dims fit the data
-- so at worse you see random data rendered as an image.

okie, I'll sit on it until I have it on par with my lib or so...
