 platform independent.
 
 Note that however that the current implementation of this solution 
 is rather poor. For example we should copy all the images when 
 adding and returning a copy of them when getting as mixing things 
 causes inconsistent behaviour.

+After some research I think we only have the following choices:
+
+1) Using GDI (or native ImageList) as it takes care about pixel 
+formats. This is not a good solution as it works only on Windows.
+
+2) Using GDI+ Bitmap.LockBits to get image from a bitmap then copy 
+it to another. This solution works and seems to be supported by 
+libgdiplus as well. The only thing that is difficult that we will 
+have to convert pixel formats manually including palette mapping.
+
+3) Using Format32bppArgb anyway. This is a very comfortable solution 
+bit this one makes ImageList.ColorDepth useless. And provides little 
+compatiblity with .NET Framework as it will convert bitmaps to the 
+target color depth that may result in color change while we will 
+preserve colos.
