| I suggest the following changes:
| 
| s/Xi.bitmap/xi-cap.bitmap/
| s/Upsilon.bitmap/upsilon-cap.bitmap/
| s/Theta.bitmap/theta-cap.bitmap/
| s/Sigma.bitmap/sigma-cap.bitmap/
| s/Psi.bitmap/psi-cap.bitmap/
| s/Pi.bitmap/pi-cap.bitmap/
| s/Phi.bitmap/phi-cap.bitmap/
| s/Omega.bitmap/omega-cap.bitmap/
| s/Lambda.bitmap/lambda-cap.bitmap/
| s/Gamma.bitmap/gamma-cap.bitmap/
| s/Delta.bitmap/delta-cap.bitmap/

I agree.

| 
| aTx=b.bitmap
| ATX=B.bitmap
| 
| (See list of unused bitmap files below.)

How do we determine that they are referenced at run-time through
dynamic generation of their names?
It is because we know no such things exist?

Before deletion, we have to determine that they are not referenced at
runtime through name generation on the fly.  Do you know whether that
can ever happen?
