Because it's not easy way. When I create surface I don't need to know all that
information. And when I set video mode I don't even need to know Rmask... 

I need it for loading textures into memory in OpenGL program. Sometime texture
is 32bit and I need 24bit format, so I must convert it. My current solution is:
create small surface with depth 24 and use its format. But I think it's dirty
hack and wonder if there is already something "better".
