Hi,

I always thought that there was a technical reason again that. Since 
that is not the case I'll have a shot at writing such a copy script. 
Attached is a first, simple script, to check if I understand the legacy 
tile format and the oceantiles.dat. Please give feedback.

PS: spaetz, if you think this might work please run it on the server an 
send me (or the list) the output. Thanks.
