I believe that Win32Lib can read up to 32-bit bitmaps
using 'loadBitmapFromFile'.  'createDIB' can be passed a Euphoria bitmap of
up to 24-bit color.  Don't read a high color bitmap using
Euphoria's 'read_bitmap' since it can only read bitmaps of 256 colors or
less.

A while back I added the 24-bit color support for 'createDIB' so that I
could make a Pixmap from an XPM (text based format) with more than 256
colors.  This is now used in the 'xpmToPixmap' routine.

Hope I didn't confuse you too much...
