PNGs with IE issue

Hello,

Last night, I opened eglug.org on an internet cyber with an IE browser. And I was shocked with how the PNGs look shitty on it.

This is a solution I came up with today. It will give the browser GIFs when it's IE otherwise it will give it PNGs.

Place this script in your drupal root. Then all you need to do is, replacing your img paths with something like "image.php?name=logo"

That solution is not that flexible and doesn't integrate into drupal nicely. I was hopping to write a better solution that will fit into drupal like a filter or a module, but from a quick look into drupal, I realized this is not possible.

So everyone is very welcomed to write a better implementation of it.

I've got some more other stuff to put into it in order to make it more flexible. However, I needed to know if the idea itself is accepted and can be used or not so I can put further development time on it.
