load_datafile will convert the bitmaps and rle sprites if you call
set_color_conversion(COLORCONV_TOTAL);
or something along those lines, before the call to load_datafile.
There might be a catch for 32 bit RGBA bitmaps, which should stay
the same regardless of the mode, or the alpha would be lost. Maybe
it already does this too, I don't know.
