640x480: 3DO menu items are too short in vertical direction

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The square pictures of the 3DO menu items ('starmap', 'cargo' 'roster' etc...) 
should be square and the same size as the radar is. Currently the pictures are 
too short vertically, making the picture non-square.

This looks pretty bad with the flashing rectangle as it is drawn a little bit 
over the picture, yet it doesn't cover the text fully.

The pictures should be stretched to correct size as it is quite difficult to 
change the flashing rectangle size so that it won't affect other resolution 
modes.

This would take a ridiculous amount of time to do. Already, if we squeeze the 
graphics anymore, it skews the graphics forcing me to re-do everything. If this 
is the case, then it will never be fixed then. I'm looking for 
alternatives....suggestions?

This is only related to the 2x mode - the buttons in 4x look fine (even though 
they're not exactly square in it either. But that's precisely what the code 
expects - there's a certain amount of 'border' in the Y direction that is 
clipped from the flashing rectangle.)

For some reason, the current 2x buttons are more 'flattened' than the 4x 
buttons - they are definitely less squarey than the 4x ones (see screenshot).

So, the button .pngs from 4x could just be resized to the 2x width, retaining 
the aspect ratio of the 4x. Nothing would need to be redrawn. Does this sound 
good? Or at least doable :)?

Fixed in r1202.

This was a breeze using OSX's 'sips' command line batch resizer! Please check 
if I've omitted any 3DO menu buttons, both at starbase and otherwise.
