DDS Formats

[EricChadwick]

I would love to see more support for DDS formats. Many game developers use these formats.

Currently XnView doesn't read DDS L8 format properly, it loads incorrectly, looking very blocky.

I compressed some samples that you can test with.

My samples use the formats:
D3DFMT_A8L8
D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
D3DFMT_DXT1
(colortest_DXT1a.dds has alpha, colortest_DXT1.dds does not, I prefer the latter)
D3DFMT_DXT3
D3DFMT_DXT5
D3DFMT_L8
D3DFMT_R8G8B8
I also included a reference file in TGA 32.

MSDN has good documentation describing each format.
