It's not too hard to write one. I wrote this back in 2000.

Would this be useful for a whole game's .bmps? or would it be to slow?

For a whole game, it would be pointless. For a small game, or a game with very low graphic requirements, it saves having to include BMPs with your code. I use the same technique in this complete shoot-em-up here:
