Oh, and one other reason: better flags!

The attached images show the current Japanese flag, and a Japanese flag 
rendered from an SVG image.  The rendered flag looks better.  This is 
because curves can automatically be rendered using anti-aliasing.

Oddly, the rendered image is also much smaller.  Perhaps it is 
automatically rendered with a small palette (while the original image 
has the "full" flags palette inherited from the old flags.png).

This also shows a problem with using SVG however.  The current flags 
have a black border, which would not be present by default in SVG flags. 
  This can be handled either using runtime drawing or via some 
ImageMagick magic.
