DDS is a relatively new Microsoft format that handles DXTn compressed
textures and oddball stuff like cube-maps.   There isn't a PLIB loader
for it - although one could be written in principle.   The usual problem
with Microsoft formats is that they are typically not decently
documented because Windows users just call a built-in Windows function
to load them.   Since PLIB demands portability - we can't support
anything like that unless we can support it on at least Windows, Linux
and Mac.
