The color representation is the first thing I noticed when I toyed with
writing a Perl5 extension, too.  In OO languages, the first thing you want
to do with different the pixel formats is make a single object to represent
them and methods to get their representation in different color
spaces.  Since I was only toying with it and LibGGI was very new I
decided to put it off and wait for a color/pixelformat converting 
helper-lib rather than implement YUV<->RGB and such in Perl5, since
that should really be an optimized C routine.  I don't think we have 
anything yet to do this; closest thing is CrossBlit.
