I was assuuuming BMP would be the default file-type for most Win-users and since
it's a Win-program that that would be in order. The only other conversion tool I
seriously looked at is FMP which uses BMPs as well. Which is not to say that I
have any objections to adding TGA-support. I'll see if I can find a way to load
TGA's (I have no idea, never tried...).
