[Image-SIG] BitmapImage instanciation of an xbm

[Nathan Johnson]

When I try to open an xbm image either from file or embedded in
python code(as shown below) the PIL says it can't identify the
image file.  It seems like the BitmapImage class should be able
to recognize the standard xbm format. The reason I'm using the
PIL to open the xbm is because I need to resize the image.  If
anybody knows a better way of opening a .xbm file and being able
to resize it, I'm open to suggestions.

I'm running Python 2.3.2 with PIL 1.1.4 on Linux

Thanks,
Nate
