Hey,

just a thought: Batik only supports PNG-24 right now, right? Supporting PNG-8 
would be a very good alternative to the GIF Transcoder I contributed. PNG-24 
files are simply too large for webapps and GIFs have the well know patent 
problem. So PNG-8 would be really intresting. Sorry that I don't have time to 
contribute a PNG-8 support, but may be someone else has;-).
