There is only one version which counts, which is the 600x400 (or
whatever) FINAL IMAGE that gets baked into the .so file. The value of
having a (for example) 1024x768 version is to see what it will ACTUALLY
LOOK LIKE when the framebuffer expands it to fill the screen. That
expansion is "dumb" (there's no smoothing going on) so the example
large-format version should be scaled up with a "dumb" scaling algorithm
so it gives a realistic view.
