1096	Allow loading pictures from String/ByteString as well as from files	duncan	axel	"We have the function

{{{imageNewFromFile :: FilePath -> IO Image}}}

but it'd be nice to have one for loading from already loaded image data:

{{{imageNewFromFileData :: ByteString -> IO Image}}}

This would probably need to use the [http://library.gnome.org/devel/gdk-pixbuf/stable/GdkPixbufLoader.html GdkPixbufLoader] api.

The function name should distinguish between the case where we're supplying an image file format and when we're supplying raw pixel data. There's already a function {{{gdk_pixbuf_new_from_data}}} that takes raw pixel data and meta data describing the pixel data layout."	enhancement	new	normal	0.11.0	general (Gtk+, Glib)	0.9.12
