ilDefaultImage creates an ugly 64x64 image of 8x8 black and yellow squares to form a checkerboard pattern. In future versions of OpenIL, there may be an option that will load this image if an image-loading function failed (unless memory could not be allocated). This way, the user can easily tell if an image was not loaded. Plus, the calling program can continue normally, even though it will have an ugly image.
