[gdal-dev] [Q] gdal2tiles.py hack for 16-bit data

[The Rain King]

Hi All,

As far as I can tell, there is a discussion about extending gdal2tiles
to accommodate more data types.  Is this correct?

In the near-term, is there a hack or a beta version that will allow me
to output tiles besides 8-bit PNGs?

Thanks in Advance.
