You know, what we should do is not smooth the trees at all.  We should 
fix the overlap issue with large images and make trees slightly taller 
than 32 px tall - then you could actually walk *in* a forest.  This 
would mean replacing the 'map type' forest look and moving to a more 
*tree type* forest look, but I would be down working on that.  I think 
that would be swell but of course everyone is going to now tell me what 
a stupid idea it is...
