I don't have anything in particular that I was looking for.  I just wanted
to know what knobs are available, so that when I get to the point of really
worrying about time vs. space vs. quality tradeoffs I know what my options
are.

For example, if I take one of my testcases (generated using IMAGETYPE AGG_Q)
and run it through pngcrush, it goes from 47783 bytes down to 45402.  Which
means there is at least a little room (if not necessarily via mapserver) for
making it smaller, although the crushed file is 95% of the original size, so
that's a sign that mapserver as configured is doing a pretty good job.

Thanks again for your help.
