If you do it, stick 'em in the display-file target.  It already writes
PPM, but could be made to read/write lots of other formats.  You'll need
to do something special for file-reading, e.g. a "-read" option which
loads the image into memory and then behaves like a read-only
display-memory target.

Cheers,
