History: Sprite Generator

Source of version: 23 (current)

^ This is to be re-evaluated after the move to Bootstrap and ((themes:Icons SVG or Fonts)), to see if it's still important. ^

A Sprite generator for all the images included in a Tiki install: this could be cool to improve ((Performance)) but there a different points of view. Ex.: [http://kaioa.com/node/99|CSS Sprites are Stupid – Let's Use Archives Instead! (Firefox demo)]

Would be prefer something which is part of the build process? (and thus only works with bundled images) or something run by each Tiki (a bit like [http://www.minifycss.com/|minify])

Also, as of Tiki7, images are not systematically well compressed. A one time clean-up would be good. Also, making sprites would no doubt compress the resulting files.
