Furthermore, any "global headers" in *any* codec have nothing to do with 
the BITMAPINFOHEADER. They aren't connected in any way. The size of the 
BITMAPINFOHEADER is 40, so biSize should always be 40, since it defines 
the size of the BITMAPINFOHEADER, not the size of the BITMAPINFOHEADER + 
extra data.
