What I have done before is saved the bitmap to disk and then used the 
netpbm tools, called from within lua, to convert the bitmap to some 
other form. Netpbm is a free set of command line tools for performing 
just about any graphics format conversion. You can download it at 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/netpbm/

Robin Cornelius has been working on 3), and making good progress. 
However, I've sort of been slow to integrate it--I've just been busy 
with other stuff.
