icut and RGB mode

[Brent Bates ViGYAN AAD/TAB]

  When using icut (scrsave) it doesn't matter what mode the windows you
are saving are in.  Scrsave uses gl_readscreen, currently an undocumented
routine, which returns rgb values no matter what mode you're in.
  There is a known problem with gl_readscreen, if you try to save a full
screen width, 1280 pixels, the information returned by gl_readscreen is
garbaged.  The temporary fix for this is save images less than 1280 pixels
wide.  Hopefully, gl_readscreen will be fixed in the next release and
become a "supported" and documented routine.
