and because of all the good vibes i have also fixed the 
[pix_rgba]/[pix_yuv]/[pix_grey] colourspace-conversions on macOS.
so know everybody who wants to can convert between yuv and rgba and 
whatever (don't tell chris about it as he won't like it;-))

but what's more:
with [pix_rgba] working and your checkin's of pete's plugins i suddenly 
noticed that some of them didn't like the alpha-channel. (gosh it was 
annoying: the objects now worked in yuv but when i switched to rgba 
everything went black - t00k me a while until i discovered that there 
was a leftover [alpha] that made all the textures invisible...)
anyhow i (think i) have fixed this now too.
