Ok, I managed to change my png plugin to handle cleaning out all
transparent pixels.
What do you say? Is it interesting to go in right now? If it is a PNG
recomendation, then it might be a nice add on, and it is small enough
to go in even now, before the first pre-2.0.
a 640x480 pix image with a transparent hole of about half it's size
got a 15% file size decrease.
I will polish my changes a little and submit the patch do bugzilla. If
anyone wanna try it, just tell me now.
