libs/apps, my mistake, sorry.

Ok, that would be enough for me to stop bugging with this, althought
what I do consider a hack is the current 'Ill try to guess even when
I know my judgement cant be trusted' behavior I have no better option
than the one I failed to justify.

Would it be too much to ask you for some candidate codec_tags to add
to raw.c for RGB555, RGB565? i dont want to lie and use 15bpp to force
correct autodetection.

Thanks for your time again.
