Currently the client tries to load a sprite for every technology.  It
will print this warning message if no sprite is available.

The sprite name is specified in the server ruleset file.  Thus there is
no name for A_NONE.  Likewise, there will also be no sprite name for
A_FUTURE, A_UNSET, A_ROOT (unless we do something about this; A_FUTURE
is the only tech that might need a sprite).

In fact, some of the sprites that do exist are "empty" - just a colored
square.  It would be better to remove these entries from the specfile so
thee client doesn't try to use them (it will check for a NULL value). 
But this results in getting the warning from above.

The warning is generated deep in tilespec.c.  The function that is
called to load the sprite prints it out if there is no sprite available.
