I believe that the best solution would be a separate resource compiler. 
The Lynx needs a very special packed sprite format that is unusable on 
anything else. But if we have a resource compiler that changes the 
desired bitmap image into something usable for the target platform then 
it could make sense.

The resource compiler could produce some machine dependent binary object.

You could plot it somewhere using tgi_blitxy(x, y, object) or just to 
the current cursor position with tgi_blit(object).

I would not use the same "object" for different platforms.
