Heh. It's frustrating, really... I discovered that Windows XP and higher 
has a thing called Windows Imaging Component (WIC), which allows you to 
load and save PNG or JPEG images. This is what I'd like to do. However...

...in order to use it, you need to include the header file wincodec.h 
(which I don't have), and you need to link in windowscodec.lib (which I 
also don't have). It seems almost pointless to continue reading about 
the API, because I can't actually call it anyway.

Hypothetically, if I could somehow discover the necessary GUIDs used by 
WIC and the function indicies, I could get away with not having the 
necessary header files. But without the include file, I don't think it's 
possible to actually call anything. (The include file presumably 
contains all the marshalling code to send the function arguments to the 
function, which could theoretically be running on another PC. I can't 
write this code manually.)
