If you perform an automatic format conversion, then you are compiling (i.e.: generating "Object Form" from "Source Data"), not changing the "Source Data" form. Unless you perform the conversion once, and then go on modifying the work directly in the new format, I mean. It's just like "gcc -S": if, after translating your C program into assembly code, you go on modifying it directly in assembly, then the source for the modified program is really in assembly language. On the other hand, if you just perform the automatic translation before distributing (but you intend to restart from C code, as soon as a modification is needed), then the source is still C code.

I don't see things like svg2png as a dummy modification or as cheating.
