[sldev] Lossless image uploading

[Second Life]

While uploading lossless prim sculpt maps is definitely a handy tool, 
(though I would like to see a feature to "Automatically flip Horizontal 
axis", of course that would require linking to an image library :/) I am not 
so sure that a tool to upload lossless textures larger than 64x64 is a good 
idea. :(

It's just utterly not necessary, it'll fill up LL asset servers and severely 
stress bandwidth in every part of SL if people started using this tool en 
mass :( Were talking up to a 10x increase in LL asset server and sim server 
disk usage (thinking of the cashes on the server that are there/are coming) 
and bandwidth internal and external to the servers.

Ungood *= 10;
