VWR-2491 has been kinda bumping around a while, I'd really like to get 
some consensus before writing the patch.

My proposal is to simply get rid of BMP snapshots and make PNG the 
default format for saving snapshots.

So far I've gotten about 50/50 feedback saying "go for it" and "keep BMP 
as an option".

Due to SL's cross platform nature, keeping BMP will likely require new 
UI on the snapshot floater.    That's not a huge deal, but I'm not sure 
it's necessary since I still haven't heard any compelling arguments for 
keeping BMP other than "it's already in there".

Does anyone have any compelling reason to keep BMP as an option, 
including new UI to select the format to save as?
