"image create photo" only supports GIF and .... PPM/PGM (yes, it still 
exists).

I need one image for each size 25 to 80 by step of 5 pixels.
Each GIF image should contain in that order (horizontal layout) : wp wn 
wb wr wq wk bp bn bb br bq bk
and have a transparent background. Then I will encode them in base64 and 
put the result in file bitmaps.tcl (you can have a look at it to have a 
better idea).
Note that the size 75 is just skipped : I jump from 70 to 80 directly, 
the rest uses a 5 pixels step. This means 11 images are needed for each 
piece sets.

Yes, the way square images are selected needs some work, and I am on it. 
My idea is to limit user choices, and to give him a limited number of 
choices, assuming all pictures are in the same directory 
(bitmaps/squares). So he will not be able to choose any file on his hard 
drive, but I don't think it does matter as it will be more usable.
