Conversion between bitmaps and vectormaps would be very nice, but I don't
believe any utility exists to convert bitmaps to vectormaps with Player.
Indeed, there are not many drivers that use vectormaps, so I don't think it
gets a lot of attention compared to gridmaps.  There are many raster to
vector algorithms floating around, if you think that it's a worthwhile use
of your time to code something up.  If not, you can always manually specify
the vectors if your map isn't too complex.
