I think PNG would be very usefull. There are several reasons:
* You could have some images 8-bit and some truecolor, in the same
image format. Of course, 'small and simple' images could just as
well be fewer bits.
* PNG supports alpha channels, which means we could have anti-aliased
images, semi-transparent ghosts, etc ...
* PNG is an open format (RFC 2083). There is a free library, which
would make it rather easy to use in crossfire ...
