while applying for "space" on Savannah is part of change of
rpm2html maintainer it means that as a new maintainer I'll do some
changes. At first just new website (if application will be approved, on
Savannah) and also - as you requested and as is good - replacement of any
GIF images with PNG images (either in utility or on website).
I'll make sure I do not commit any GIF into Savannah's CVS.
Sincerely
Peter Hanecak
