I meant undo the changes to xshowimf; but now I see that most changes
are in the imf library.

There is another problem: several images don't have proper masks.
Often the mask is identical to the b/w image, e.g. siege engine; this
means that the black background + white mask + black image we are
using to show utypes is all black.  (BTW, I think white or gray
background + white mask + black image looks better.)

Since I don't feel like debugging xshowimf (I'm debugging a numerical
simulation code of mine just now), I could fix the broken masks.
I can work on images, I still have 7.2 installed. :-)
