FS#61 - Add BMP support (Read/write)

"By the way, FreeImage (dual license, BSD-like and GPL) provides many import/export filters, including BMP filters."

Not really, it is GPL and a commercial license. It is not acceptable for GD which has a true BSD-like license only.

" The Source/FreeImage/PluginBMP.cpp filter could be adapted to libgd (it is a C++ file, but it does not use any C++-specific code, actually) - it seems to handle all BMP formats (with RLE decompression routines)."

Scott is working on the BMP reader and writer, some come will be commited as soon as he thinks it is good enough. If you can help in one way or another, please contact him (it would be nice to discuss that on the mailing lists). However, please don't use other library codes, not if the license is (l)gpl-like or other limited license  :)
