YES.

TIFF is very complicated and messy, and useful in very rare cases only,
no PNG is much better here.

There is little use for AGIF in a library, and it would be difficult to implement,
since "displaying" an AGIF would mean "playing", thus something would have
to "run" all the time. LXPIC and DISPLAY already can play AGIF.

Same (or even more ?) for PNG.

maybe 4 ?

COOL.
