swf7 can't display png-images natively, that feature was added in swf8.
And there is still a png-display bug for swf7 caused by jgenerator
(reported a few times on the forum, e.g. this thread
"http://forum.openlaszlo.org/showthread.php?t=9203";). So, I don't think
we can easily drop the swf-resources.

This seems like a fine idea to me, but shouldn't we actually get some
designer resources to create optimal .png's, rather than rely on the
auto-generated ones?
And then we just need to prioritize this w.r.t. everything else that
is going on...
