Sounds good.

I would have thought you could simply change the cases for
GL_GRAPHICS and SDL_GRAPHICS to use the new file names. Something
like:

struct tileset def_tilesets[] = {
#if defined(X11_GRAPHICS) || defined(QT_GRAPHICS) || defined(GTK_GRAPHICS) || \
    defined(GNOME_GRAPHICS)
    { "Small tiles", "x11tiles", 0 },
    { "Big tiles", "x11bigtiles", TILESET_TRANSPARENT },
#endif
#if defined(GTK_GRAPHICS)
    { "Big 3D tiles", "x11big3dtiles", TILESET_TRANSPARENT | TILESET_PSEUDO3D },
#endif
#if defined(GEM_GRAPHICS)
    { "Monochrome tiles", "nh2.img", 0 },
    { "Colour tiles", "nh16.img", 0 },
#endif
#if defined(MSDOS)
    { "Planer style tiles", "slashem1.tib", 0 },
#endif
#if defined(ALLEG_FX)
    { "Small tiles", "slam16.bmp", 0 },
    { "Big tiles", "slam32.bmp", TILESET_TRANSPARENT },
    { "Big 3D tiles", "slam3D.bmp", TILESET_TRANSPARENT | TILESET_PSEUDO3D },
#endif
#if defined(GL_GRAPHICS) || defined(SDL_GRAPHICS)
    { "Small tiles", "gltile16.png", 0 },
    { "Big tiles", "gltile32.png", TILESET_TRANSPARENT },
    { "Big 3D tiles", "gltile64.png", TILESET_TRANSPARENT | TILESET_PSEUDO3D },
#endif
    { "", "", 0, }
};

The support for wincap in Slash'EM is currently very confused.
Basically, I did the best I could without spending any great
amount of time thinking about it when I did the merge with
3.4.0. I'm sure that if we actually looked at it we would find
that there are quite a few changes needed. I'd like to get
around to this before we finally move Slash'EM Vampire into
beta development, but I don't know if I'll have time as yet.
