It would be nice to have a function that loads directly an XPM image as RGB888 surface. Path already exists in SDL_image. so the patch is almost only to expose this as a function.
(remove also MAX macro un-used).

What's the use case for this?
Comment 2 Sylvain 2017-11-05 10:47:19 UTC 
My use case is probably marginal. 
I have a few xpm files that I rescale linearly at run-time, so I need something else that a palette format.
So, this function prevents a call to SDL_ConvertFormat() to converting them out of a palletized format. 
Moreover, this way, surfaces are also immediately in the natural renderer pixel format.
