[Laszlo-dev] autoPng and SWFs -- time to remove the SWFs?

[P T Withington]

This seems like a fine idea to me, but shouldn't we actually get some  
designer resources to create optimal .png's, rather than rely on the  
auto-generated ones?

And then we just need to prioritize this w.r.t. everything else that  
is going on...
