We could use some image-file libraries:

 * reading GIF files (we already have a library for writing)

 * reading and writing BMP files

 * reading and writing XPM & XBM files

All of these format are currently built into MrEd using C code, but the
code is ugly and we'd like to get rid of it. Also, these image formats
are fairly simple.

(In contrast, I would not recommend re-implementing JPEG or PNG
processing in Scheme, because they're complex, and the existing C
libraries work well.)
