Please add alpha-channel support for all images/OS in a way Blitz3D is doing.

- add image-mask to a existing image (gray-scale image with same size)
- load image-mask to a existing image (gray-scale image with same size)
- add mask-color to a existing image

This image-mask should be compatible to all image functions and there should be a function to convert a 2D-image to a texture - or better allow images to be used as textures.

Please add support for DrawImageAlpha for all platforms.

Release 4.30 would be cool, because you annouced it as a big 3D graphics update. At least before end of this year should be a good marketing time table, because Mark Sibly announced a new 3D framework before Christmas (http://www.blitzbasic.com/logs/userlog. ... 1&log=1043). I believe, PureBasic has the power to be better even in this segment. I don't want to go back to B3D or BMAX to do game stuff and I think a lot of other switchers will come, as you provide frequent updates and more innovations.
