Heh, I was going to suggest PNGOut myself -- I did a test run on one of the
earlier files and shaved off almost 10%. But it can take a while to run, so
I hadn't had a chance to give the latest editions a shot, and others beat me
to it. :)

Good to see PNGs getting used for this... I can be a bit of a zealot when it
comes to formats and stuff, and I might have had to join David in a bit of
ranting if JPEGs had been chosen for the maps. ;)
