You can pass in a "raw mode" argument to fromstring/frombuffer that
tells PIL what "unpacker" to use:

>>> Image.frombuffer("RGBA", (1, 1), "\1\2\3\4", "raw", "RGBA", 0, 1).getpixel((0,0))
(1, 2, 3, 4)
>>> Image.frombuffer("RGBA", (1, 1), "\1\2\3\4", "raw", "ABGR", 0, 1).getpixel((0,0))
(4, 3, 2, 1)

The default mode is the same as the image mode.

Lack of round tuits, mostly.  Contributions are welcome.
