This sounds reasonable. BS2.5 savegames have a 'version' flag, so original
interpreter savegames wouldn't be compatible with ScummVM anyway. Plus I
plan to add a new field to the savegame format to add the date and time when
the savegame was added anyway, since ScummVM doesn't have a function to tell
you the age of the file. Given that, there's no reason why the entire PNG
code couldn't be removed.. it only seems to be used for thumbnails and
saving screenshots in any case, and both of those can use existing ScumMVM
functionality.

Paul.
