I agree with you now that we should make all flags 3:2.  Even the Swiss
flag can easily be modified to fit this ratio and still be perfectly
recognizable.  With all flags at 3:2 it makes the players and nations
dialogs look a lot better.

However rather than fix all of the SVGs as I suggested earlier I think
we should enforce this in the conversion script.  This patch forces all
flags to be 24x16 (plus 2 pixels of flag border making them 26x18).

I think this obsoletes your new SVG flags.  However some of the flags
may need fixing in the new system, since a 3:2 version may look better
if it's not simply a scaled version of the existing flag.  For instance
the swiss flag might look better if the cross remains a cross and only
the red background is scaled.

Thoughts?
