Now that we have the code to select from multiple tilesets
from the client command line (and maybe in the future with 
an initial dialog) I'm proposing we ship both.  

The Ralf Engels ones look nicer, but the current ones are
smaller, and use less colours, and some people prefer
them due to familiarity (and associated recognisability of
units etc).  

I'm not sure which should be the default though, or whether
non-default ones should be available separately rather than
included in the distribution.
