That actually was how I thought to fine-tune animations.

To the end, when reading the graphics, the sprite management notices any files 
that are symlinks to others, and doesn't load such images more than once.

Now that the code is in cvs, the symlinks are gone, though.  (I think 
generally cvs has a problem with symlinks, but am not sure.)
