How can I ask the X server (V11) for his preferential image format ?
(I mean XYPixmap or ZPixmap).

for instance, on SUN 3 with 8 bits color display, it take 250 times longer
with XYFormat than with ZFormat to get a 128x128 XImage from the server.

On my DPX1000 display with 2 planes, the situation is inverted.

for the moment, I've add a "-z" option on the command line but if I can
remove it ...
