[CF-Devel] It is time to get rid of xpms and xbms

[Peter Mardahl]

We can't make everyone happy.

Having the xpms and xbms triples the burden on artists
adding new things.  It's one of the reasons crossfire
has been relatively static.

Can you round up people who play on laptops to do
a laptop crossfire graphics project?

      Um, I have to disagree, unless the alternate pngs are smaller than the

      *barely* fits in that with the xpm set (i had to modify the code to allow

      Whenever people agree with me, I always think I must be wrong.
