Gen 2 Update: ternary-packed-art encoding

You may be wondering what ternary has to do with art? or what those two have to do with encoding things?

Well, take a look at the screenshot to the right. Notice anything... odd?

That's right! its a curses/log-friendly scheme for terminal block art. its only 3 shades but its 9x more efficient than text art.  The catch is: it can only output chunks of pixels 9 characters wide, and 1 character high. 

However, an automated, pygame-based conversion tool has been added to the newly created gfxcon.py utility.
