Yeah, I played with that a few times, it works if the image you're trying
to compress is raster, with little/no regularity.
But if you are trying to display a road network with roads crossing at a right
angle (very common in roman cities) there is a very good chance that the
sampling will make the code skip important values.

When I first discovered neuquant I was all fired up and wanted to
include it in GeoServer right away, a deeper analysis of its shortcomings
and a weekend spent looking at the code made me change my mind ;-)

That's why I'm now backing more pngquant, seems to have all the markings
for a real world solution that actually works (simple, efficient, good output)

Cheers
