This is really starting to annoy me now.
See http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20040424232421417.

I'd really like to convert everything in www/en/gifs/ to a .png and
commit the diff at http://people.freebsd.org/~ceri/gif_diff.

Cons are that we lose animated gifs (such as powerani.gif) and some
images with transparency have lost it - see
http://shrike.submonkey.net/~setantae/gifs/ for the old and new, but
this is just from a pass through "{jpeg,gif}topnm | pnmtopng" so could
possibly be solved.

Objections, comments, suggestions on how to do it better and offers to
do it kindly accepted.
