I like the idea. I'm not sure I agree w/ Adam that I'd roll the code into DRT, insofar as I don't know how big it is and I would definitely want the code shared across all of the DRT implementations. I'd probably also do a pass over all of the existing PNGs at some point rather than wait for them to be updated as necessary.
