I have a more pedestrian question: should the overhead map be rendered
in graphics mode, or should it use the default character mapping? I
usually use a tiny font for that window, if I use it at all. But the
big tile sets are completely unintelligible when rendered at point-
size 9 or 10.

Related:
Robert mentioned in his TODO file that he wanted to allow overhead map
windows to use a special 2x2 or thereabouts tile set, so that monsters
could be a blob of e.g. red, the player could be a blob of blue, and so
on. After fiddling a bit, I think that may not be such a bad idea.

I do this in my (completely different) roguelike, except the tiles are
5x5.
