readimage

Read an image into memory converting from whatever format it is in to a consistent set of RGBA frames independent on input format.

Why? Because image formats are a pain to worry about.

How fast is it? Not really sure. I don't need it to be fast.

How robust is it? Not really sure, if you have issues please file them!
