Hi,
Qt provide a class (QImage) to handle image loading. it works for bmp as well as jpeg, tga, png, …
then you can extract width, height and pixels from the QImage and create the texture like procedural texture.

you should check: http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/
it is the online documentation of Qt.

You can load texture from any file You want.
You only have to know how to read the image data from specific file format. Look at: www.wotsit.org
This page contains specifications of many file formats.
