/n/sources/contrib/quanstro/wbmp.tar.

unpack this in /sys/src/cmd/jpg and mk wbmp.install.
this supports type 0 images without animation.  if there's
documentation on how animation is really done, i'll think
about adding that.

one problem with wbmp is there's no magic number, although
all base images start with two zero bytes.  i'm not sure that's 
enough to go by.

cool!  thanks erik.  i just tried it on a couple of files and it works great.
how difficult would a 'towbmp' be?

this mentions animation but doesn't specify how to:

not hard.  towbmp is in /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/wbmp.tar now.

one note, do not trust xv for wbmp support.  it writes truncated images
and does not properly display others.
