  Looks good - a few notes:

IMO, that is no longer really accurate - pixmaps can be odd sizes (32x40).  Some 
clients may have issues drawing it (I think I fixed it recently for the gtk and 
gtk2 client).  Now there may not be a lot of reason to use odd sizes, but it 
should be supported.

  That should be removed - if anything, we are going in the opposite direction 
of merging these cut up images into one big image.  All clients should support 
it now days.  Likewise, with that, some of the points in point 6 could be removed.

  can_pass_thru further down should be removed - IIRC, when I redid the movement 
code, that disappeared (it wasn't used by anything anyways)
