<STUPID QUESTION> Why not keep all the flags in one long column,
rather than having several in each row?  The main disadvantage (unless
there is some xpm magic that I don't know about) would be that this
layout doesn't look good when you load it all into the GIMP or
whatever, but if the preferred form for new flags as well as fixes to
old ones is a small xpm file then this wouldn't be much of an issue.

Maybe there should be a link to this page from
<http://www.freeciv.org/contribute.html> ?
