Added ANT buildfile, updated README and optimized images.

Added new Apache Ant build.xml file for those without access to *nix make. README has been updated to reflect this.
Also optimized images using Yahoo's SmushIt service, resulting in a 93%(!) lossless filesize reduction.
Makefile has also been optimized slightly and .gitattributes file removed as it was causing problems with commits.
