Do you have an algorithm as to how to automatically divide an
arbitrary rectangle into a near-optimal set of smaller power-of-two
rectangles?

I am the author of Lamina, and just have never worried about
optimizing the texture usage.  Now that it has my attention, the
mapping of multiple subtextures into one continuous panel seems
straightforward, but choosing the subtexture sizes to start with is
not obvious.  I suppose I could just premap all the common full-screen
window sizes by hand, and then nearest-fit any other window sizes.
