[cairo] how to import .BMP without other libs(GTK+ etc)?

[Aliner]

How did you handle the alpha channel in (for example) gif images?

    ExceptionInfo *exception;
    Image    *image;
    ImageInfo *image_info;
    long x, y;
    const PixelPacket *p;
    QuantizeInfo *qinfo;
    unsigned char *q;
    unsigned char *imgbuf;

    /*
     * Initialize the image info structure and read an image.
     */
    MagickCoreGenesis(*argv,MagickTrue);
    exception  = AcquireExceptionInfo();
    image_info = CloneImageInfo((ImageInfo *) NULL);
    (void) strcpy(image_info->filename,argv[1]);
    image = ReadImage(image_info,exception);
    if (exception->severity != UndefinedException)
        CatchException(exception);
    if (image == (Image *) NULL)
        exit(1);

    printf("rows = %ld, columns= %ld\n", image->rows, image->columns);

   imgbuf = (unsigned char
*)malloc(image->rows*image->columns*sizeof(char)*4);
    q = imgbuf;
    for(y=0; y < (long) image->rows; y++)
    {
        p = GetVirtualPixels(image, 0, y, image->columns, 1, exception);
        if( p == (const PixelPacket *)NULL )
            break;
        for( x = 0; x < (long) image->columns; x++)
        {
            *q = ScaleQuantumToChar(p->blue);
            q++;
            *q = ScaleQuantumToChar(p->green);
            q++;
            *q = ScaleQuantumToChar(p->red);
            q++;
            *q = ScaleQuantumToChar(p->opacity);
            q++;
            p++;
        }
    }

Is this the right way?
