Hi Emile,

if James cannot find all the originals, I think I could write a  
little python script to recreate the original PNMs from the mobjs.  
Might take a few days, though, 'til I find the time.

When it comes to making decent graphics, there aren't many people  
around who can really make them. As such I'd like the idea of sharing  
such efforts where possible.

As James said, wastesedge graphics are not that reusable, as they for  
a very special place. But I could imagine that at least parts like  
wall or floor tiles, items and trees and such could be used by  
different projects without problem. As long as the overall style fits.

It's a bit different with character graphics, as people might  
associate a special person with the graphics and could be puzzled if  
a completely different character looks exactly the same. They could  
still serve as a starting point for modifications though.

So if there was some sort of graphic repository around, I wouldn't  
mind if our graphics where added, for whatever good it does :-). But  
then again, in the end it's the artists decision ...
