I'd like to have RGB24 and RGB32 with the same order, so i can easily  
output RGB24 source to RGB32 destination by incrementing destination  
pointer (es for BGR32: outupt 3 bytes; pointer = 3 + (use_rgb32==1);).

Having a well defined byte ordering allows a codec to output image one  
byte at a time, else it will have to pack them together and output as a  
word/dword (or do different thing based on endianness).

Does RGBA32 implies the existance of an alpho plane, or is just a label  
for 32bpp RGB format?
