+/**
+  Program for converting an outputImage to C array for Licar. The input
+  outputImage must be 64x64, in PPM format (tested with the one exported by
+  GIMP). Pass the outputImage on standard input, the array will be output on
+  standard output and preview PPM outputImage will be saved. The array is saved
+  in 565 indexed mode: first 512 bytes is the 565 palette, then 64x64 1 byte
+  indices follow.
