Just the IFF writing part.  And you'd still need all the code to handle
the actual ILBM chunks.  I think you'd want to do that in C for
reasonable speed...  you don't want to use Python for chunky<->planar
conversions unless you have a _lot_ of time on your hands! NetPBM's
ilbmtoppm is slow enough in C.
