iam not speaking about n routines to convert n formats we have that since
years but 1 routine to convert n formats based on a description of the
format (like where how many bits are which component ...)
the intent is to make it very easy to add new pixel formats and then
just write fast conversation functions when its actually needed

also anything float is unacceptable
