Let's just stay with PNG until we actually are in a situation where we
hit its limits (both artist- and engine-wise).

I think you can load custom mipmaps with "standard" OpenGL as well, you
just need to load them from several images/layers (or generate them on
the fly, if possible).

We had that discussion last year, didn't we? Then we'd need hints in the
SVN log like "This needs data revision 38772", but it'd save a lot of
space when we use branches (and we might need to branch the data as
well). I like the idea. Have a separate data tree in SVN, with scripts
to make a release data file (with ogg instead of wav etc.).
