well, we're shipping a load of png files as it is, I'm not sure that
amanith instead is much of a lose. I also don't buy 'less dependencies'
as a reason---users don't have to care about that, apt does it all for
them. I'm also not sure the users want or need the option, svg+amanith
is almost always better than png; when it isn't, they probably don't
want to be playing FoF on that machine, it's so under powered. I can't
imagine the overhead of amanith is all that noticeable.

It wouldn't be a lot of work to dynamically detect amanith (they already
dynamically detect other things), but since they already have an if
(png) png else svg code, just using that and fixing the one init line
will be easier.
