If you want to -render- an image, as long as it has an SDL image
associated with it you can.  The image loader inside of the theme manager
has been (mostly) untouched....

note that the graphics manager's likely to make it's own copy of the image
for any number of different reasons....  mostly to do with special
formats required and support for things like storing picture in
videomemory in such a way that the renderer can understand it - ie OpenGL
is guaranteed (pretty much) to make it's own copy.

Also the application initialization is needed as PG_Application's physfs
support is also used for locating and initializing the graphics driver :)

G'day, eh? :)
