Hey,

The documentation mentions that POV-Ray can use the red and green color
values from a TGA image for the high and low bytes of a 16 bit value for a
heightfield. Has anyone made a patch to allow this to be done with other
formats, in my case, windows bitmaps?

This seems like it would be fairly trivial. Maybe I'll have to bust out a C
compiler ;)

I know PPM's can be used, but they're so space inefficient for my little
hard drive.
