Not sure. If we get a patch implementing them we'll probably include it in 
1.6.2 -- even if it's just rgb8. I've already got a number of highly 
important bugs that I need to solve for 1.6.2, and I'm not sure how much I 
will be able to do after next Thursday.

It's almost possible in trunk to do that. I'm not sure what the current status 
is since I was seduced away by another area of the codebase for the
