Squeak was never meant to run in 16 bit hardware. I believe that
attempts to generalize the assumption of 32bit in BitBlt (and many other
places) should focus on 64 bit. Not a current concern of mine, though.

Supporting depths of more than 32 bit would require a lot more than
modifying this few methods!

Thanks for reviewing!
