I'd rather that- since TGA is used by *every* program I own, and PNG is
only used by some of the latest.  BOTH would be ideal, but failing that,
HD space and memory for me are non issues.

And besides, even with my AMD 1800+ PNG decoding is S L O W compared to
TGA... that's a rugged compression to get in to.
