Look at my demo at http://pmt.sf.net/opossum where the PNG is
antialiased and the GIFs aren't.  The JPEG is antialiased against
a known background color.  Any time you have curved edges and 
transparency, even if they are sharp, and even if the shadow is
black but has curves, you need antialiasing.
