I haven't looked, but I would bet that a problem with using the
individual libraries directly is that you have to use N different ways
of calling the read functions for N different image formats. It would
be nice if someone had already done the work to package these things
up in a simple interface.
Has anyone looked at DevIL (http://openil.sourceforge.net)? It is
LGPL and there are Debian packages and apparently RPM files and a
Windows build. What about the licenses of the dependencies? They
must also be GPL compatible.
It also seems to have functions available for displaying images with
OpenGL, which I assume would fit nicely with the new graphics
features.
