We do have such a beast in pre8 - Its called GrLoadImageFromBuffer() and
GrDrawImageFromBuffer().
The only thing that we are currently missing is a native way to handle
compiled in XPMs. If the list agrees, I may break the existing XPM support
by changing the internal decoder to use XPM data (ie, the actual char array),
instead of an XPM file. Then, we could add a client side function to decide
an actual XPM file and send across the data. I know Julian would like this,
but is there anyone who really uses the current XPM support and would get
angry if I borked it?
