[CREATE] OpenRaster reference library - libora

[Luka Čehovin]

Yes, that would be similar to my idea. I thought this was clear from
the beginning but I guess it was not. I just wanted to start a project
of creating an IO library for OpenRaster similarly to how libpng is
used for PNG. Low level and platform independent support for loading
and saving .ora files and not much more than that. Then add some
bindings for scripting languages.
