Thank you for all the information (everyone).
I like the idea of using IMG_Load_RW(), and I'm assuming that avoids these
"double loaded" problems where the image is loaded into ram twice.

This seems rather complicated though, converting my images to C files.  I could
only find one tool that would do this, and it's kind of tricky.  I think I might
just leave the system the way it is, it's part of an embedded system and
currently only used by me... so I don't think there will be much problem.
