This is a quick and dirty fix - we needed the '-p' option to also work
when in TrueColor mode.  The built-in image reading code was useless
at 16/24bpp, and /everybody/ has XV anyway, so we just hacked up the
code. 

It's much smaller; using the -p (picture background) option now
automatically enables clipping, and just uses "xv -root -quit" to view
whatever image you specify.  Note that "xv" has to be in the search
path somewhere.  All inbuilt code relating to colormapping and
internal image manipulation has been completely cut out, so if you
were hoping to use this on a depth 8 display, you'd better think
twice, because it's probably broken now! 

Hey, it works for me! 

Anyway, I call it "2.1tp", not to be confused with the official 2.1
release.  The "tp" stands either for "truecolor+picture" or for
"toilet paper", depending on the sorts of things you tend to do in
your spare time.
