I was just thinking on offering something similar to bmp2dat. The other
thing always is that it should be compatible to Ldraw and than you have to
convert the bmp to something which LDraw can use too.

Ahh, ok.  Makes sense.  On the other hand, it would be really handy if you
could somehow indicate what was done, so that if a later renderer had access
to the original bitmap they could skip the quad-ized version, and just
render the bitmap as a texture.  This would of course be done with a new
comment directive.  Any chance of this?  Drawing the bitmap as a texture
would generally produce both higher quality AND faster rendering.
