One of the problems would be the number of possibilities... Conversion
algorithms from Bayer to RGB range from simply copying some color values
to calculating lots of gradual vectors and depending on the results trying
to decide how many and which of them to use. For the moment I've given up
on it... When speed is asked for, I use copying. For stills I let someone
else do it ;-)
