why do most compacts churn images that are 4:3, instead of 3:2?

To me the Panasonic GH1 has the strangest format options I have seen.

4000X3000 (4:3)
4128 X2752 (3:2); why is this not 4352X2901? (possible answer to promote the 4/3s format)
4352X2448 (16:9)
2992X2992 (1:1); why is this not 3000X3000? (not that it would matter in this case).

Usually the cameras just do some cropping and only save you the data space and the cropping time.
