first add a new pixel format (anti native endian bgr15or16 i assume) 
to the PixelFormat enum in libavutil
then add a conversation routine to libswscale see
svn di -r22235:22236 swscale* which added pal8

you can also optionally added special converters for bswaping it
see rgb2rgbWrapper() for this
