[Freeciv-Dev] Re: (PR#2269) PNG for gui-stub

["Jason Short via RT" <rt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch updates gui-stub by changing gfx_fileextension to have PNG be 
the only graphics extension listed.

Although a small change, this is perhaps symbolic of the transition from 
XPM to PNG.  If we stick with the paradigm that one format must be 
standard, then this function (in the stub files) should have only one 
entry.  GUIs may be able to accept other formats (XPM is still used for 
backwards-compatability in many places), but is not strictly required.

Is this acceptable?  Should XPM be recommended for all GUIs to provide 
more backwards-compatability?
