A couple of folks have contacted me privately, and suggested that I
may have misinterpreted Trygve.  Trygve, if you were not making a
joke, I apologize.  Spur is remarkably backward compatible code-wise,
I thought you were giving Eliot a hard time (in fun) about the image
format change.  My comment was a dumb attempt to play along in the
"joke" too.  If I've offended you, I apologize, please forgive my
misunderstanding.
