[vox-tech] reading bitmaps in XLib

[Mitch Patenaude]

The function XReadBitmapFile() almost certainly reads X bitmap files 
(.xbm).. which are different than Windows bitmap files (.bmp).  I don't 
know precisely how to read windows bitmaps, but I think that the GD 
image library is a good place to start looking.
