[magick-users] Bitonal bitmap out

Yes, that was going to be one of my approaches, but I couldn't
work out how to do it without writing out to an intermediate
file (I'm no programmer) - in the cold light of morning I suppose
imagetoblob(magick=>'pbm') would have done it. This is what I
ended up with:

@pixels = 
$ffoto->GetPixels(map=>'I',height=>$height,width=>$width,normalize=>true);
print (pack('B*',join('', at pixels)));

...but I'd like to put in a feature request for a bitonal
bitmap format without any header. It would be trivial to implement
given that 'mono' already exists. Or make 'mono' listen to the
endian parameter. It seems odd to have to cludge a way to get
bitonal pixel representation out of an image.
