There is a gil extension for the RAW image format in the develop branch of
boost::gil. Look here:

https://github.com/boostorg/gil/tree/develop/include/boost/gil/extension/io

It uses libraw as the encoder.

That we don't have but if you're are working on RGBA 8 bit data then most
likely you can convert the gil type into an array of unsigned ints.

Writing an raw image is not possible with the current extension.
