DataBuffer, ColorModels and SampleModels

Hi,

I did so just now. I bombed the standard jdk6 build with 1000000 random
values and stored the conversion results in a file. Another program
reads in those values and compares it with the same conversion on the
current VM's build. Here are the results:

plain OpenJDK:
average difference from reference: 0.00380017
maximum difference from reference: 0.038417127

OpenJDK with Classpath CMS:
average difference from reference: 0.00280433
maximum difference from reference: 0.0042832294

Yeah right. And apparently the code needs more testing for other
conversions than gray->rgb.
