[MonoTouch] CGImageCreate?

[Ed Anuff]

Hi Miguel, thanks for looking into this.  I've got an image decoder for an
image format that UIImage doesn't support.  The image decoder returns a raw
RGB byte array of the pixels.  I had hoped to use CGImageCreate to convert
these into a CGImage and then a UIImage since CGImageCreate is very flexible
in terms of the source data it can process.  The workaround I've implemented
is to convert the image data into TIFF format since UIImages can be created
from TIFF data and I found some fairly simple code for doing this (while
TIFF is a complicated format because of all the options it supports, an
uncompressed 24bit image can be stored by preprending a small header to the
raw image data and then appending some minimal metadata at the end).
