 Many workstations (and x-terminals) only had 8 bit display even fairly
recently.  While the bitmaps do fine for black & white systems, bitmaps are far
inferior to even the xpm images for color systems.  And at some point, I would
like to get rid of the xpm (reduce distribution size as well as stuff that needs
to be supported).

 Certainly it is easier to do anything if there is no restrictions.  But my own
feeling is that why break something that doesn't need to be broken.  Someone
actually mentioned that he thought it worked better for the images to be a
little more iconic than photo realistic.  And I think most people will agree
that even with the limited color set used for the png's, they still look very
nice.

 i extracted the color list/rgb values from the current png files.  As cursory
glance, there are some things that can be cleaned up (for example, the second
and third entries could almost certainly be moved into one, because no one is
likely able to distinguish the difference between that 1 rgb difference).  I
don't know if these minor differences were caused by the conversion program or
in the original files David checked in.
