bug#6918: Colors of xbm image are swapped on Windows

[Jason Rumney]

I wouldn't call myself an expert on images on Windows. I basically got it working through trial and error, and from the looks of that history there may have been bugs fixed later that invalidated some early decisions. Most of the monchrome Emacs icons were PBM IIRC, so XBM may not have had a lot of testing on Windows over the past 12 years.

No clue, sorry.
