for reading/writing the header use whatever leads to the simplest / cleanest /
most readable code (put_bits, bytestream.h, intreadwrite.h, ... whatever
you like)

for reading/writing the raw image use memcpy(), le2me_16() and uintXY_t
read/write ISO C style (expect to see the patch rejected if this is
inefficiently implemented like with bytestream.h or intreadwrite.h which
are designed for unaligned data)
