Added crude ability to read and convert spectra to RGB in ximage, ra_bmp, and ra_rgbe programs.

HSR +input handling was added in a similar fashion to pcond and pvalue. + +Wrote rxpiece tool that will render pictures using tiling and +can handle different output formats and hyperspectral pictures. +Only runs on a single machine, however -- now NFS locking on +shared volumes.
