This is something you could probably do. Just edit them out of the
'imf.dir' file in the 'lib' directory. And, once it is cleaned up,
give the new file to Hans or myself, so we can look it over
and merge the cleaned up image directory into CVS.

Agreed. There are a lot of rather "chunky" or "stick figure" type
graphics that can probably go away, or at least not be part of the
main images library.
Of course, when cleaning things up, you might have to look to see
in which modules the "atrocious" graphics are being used, and
provide suitable replacements.

The Spec tiles don't look so bad compared to some of the stuff in
the images lib.

Oh, those are pikes? I couldn't quite tell; I thought I saw the
ends of bayonets, but I never looked that closely.
