I haven't gotten around to testing the FIT_IMAGE_TINY stuff yet, but
conceptually I have a much bigger problem with this part.

Sacrificing functionality to allow continued SPL bloat is just wrong.

Whatever caused SPL to grow should be re-worked or the author should
have also made some optimization elsewhere to offset this. Now I'll have
to go hunt for more optimizations somewhere so I can get all my features
back here :(
