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

[Michael Toennies]

Well, its as i said long before: the xpm/xbm set is designed.
The png set is assembled.

There is only one way to avoid it: make a big cut and start from bottom up.

I will soon drop some for the iso set, perhaps we can make here the deal and
hit 2 flies at once: new set and new style.

Again: we don't speak about monsters. The nice of the flat monsters is, that
they
fit more or less in nearly all true iso gfx.

      I've used the current color matching 1.0.0 and I can say that the color
