  This is true. You can compile it not to have built-in support for various
image formats, in which case it uses helper applications to load them.
Hmm. I don't know if it can 'import' an X pixmap from elsewhere. Can
the other library? Also, I think anyone running Enlightenment (but not
Gnome; they use a different version of Imlib) will have Imlib already in
memory, so it wouldn't be hogging any extra.
