Neochrome plug-in for GIMP#

While Neochrome sounds very cool it’s just an old file format used on the Atari ST, which was one of the computers I owned a long time ago. There is already a GIMP plug-in for this format, but this was only available for GIMP 1.0. So I spend 1/2 hour to port it to GIMP#. Why? Is this an important file format? Nope, but it was kinda fun for nostalgic reasons and it helps improving the FilePlugin base class which is part of GIMP#.

Pretty soon I will start developing a plug-in based on ECW (Enhanced Compressed Wavelet) which will also allow you to read jpeg 2000 files. But first we need to release 0.8 🙂
