Once you've converted the jpegs to plan9 bitmaps, what's the point of
having them hanging around in memory ?
For image editing etc. the plan9 bitmap is not the best structure (imho)
You'll need the images separated into colour channels, RGBA for
instance, if you want to do anything interesting with them.
I started such a beast that mounted images as RGB/HSB with alpha and got
it to do a few tricks, it has a couple of bugs so I never released it.
I think I talked about it on the list but it might have been in IRC
