Well, as Bruno has noted, its ok, if wxwindows can load 16bit/channel
images. I think that 8bit/channel images are probably good enough for
us right now.

Also, wxWindows supports only 3 channel images, but I'd like to use
single channel images for the ctrl point finetune and other things.

But booth wxImage and QImage do not offer advanced image processing
functions, so we can as well use raw arrays. Images need to be converted
to wxBitmap or QPixmap for drawing anyway.

Since I'll need a program to demostrate some simple image correlation algos
on Monday, I've enhanced hugin a little bit, because it was faster to do
than rewrite it with wxwindows. 

I haven't finished my wxwindows experiments yet, but I think the event
handling is a lot more clumsy to use than QT's signals/slots. But maybe
they're not that bad. So I haven't decided yet.
