ImageList - my findings

Well, it's the problem dealing with multi-row bitmaps for Image list. Here is
what happens:
- When image list has single row bitmaps (image + mask) everything fine.
- When image list has multi row bitmaps, wine's ImageLitst tries to rearrange them
  into single row. And this is where it fails.
It's not as easy as it seems. Right now I'm messing with one simple case:
  Image list has 6 images 21x21 4 bit color in 84x63 bitmap. Plus masks (1 bit B&W).
  You can't just copy this byte by byte. Somewhere you have to copy bit by bit. Or
  combine bits from previous image with bits from current image.
