Does loading images mean having an array of some sort in memory that
would represent the data in the image?  I want to do processing, but
processing of my own.

I started on libpng.  The Ruby extension stuff seems really cool. 
Almost
like writing Ruby in a different dialect.

In any event, I think it would definitely be worth putting on the RAA.
Ruby needs more image processing stuff.

Also, does Imlib2 compile easily in a Win32 Cygwin environment?

Thanks,
