One possible solution would be to have configure check for libpng and
convert (imagemagick). If *both* are found, then it converts all the
xpms to pngs and builds the PNG version of the clients.  This would be 
nice for debian systems, where most users don't compile from source,
but install the binaries (which would be rather smaller with pngs)
