The FS library seems to be written bpp agnostic - it leaves it up to the
backend plugin to figure out which bpp depth to run in. Is this really a
good idea?

Related, be_common_24.c|h is used by the SDL backend, but the SDL backend
can use any bit depth. How does that work? AFAICT, the SDL backend does
not really need the be_common_24 code, only the structs, which despite
what a comment says, is not specific for 24bpp.

I think the same holds for most relevant backends these days, since most
systems have advanced drawing functions built in (DirectX, Quartz etc).
