Ah, I see. The "gdk-pixbuf" that I was looking at in the Gentoo portage
tree goes with GTK+ 1.x.

I had been planning on a separate loader that knew about the format
itself, since I couldn't find anything to handle it besides the JasPer
reference code.

Speaking of JasPer, it appears to be licensed under something similar to
the original BSD license. If this pixbuf loader is (eventually) to be
included as part of GTK+, is that acceptable, or do I have to get a copy
of ISO/IEC 15444-1 and write code from scratch?
