Larger dots, larger image. It's 10595 bytes now.

The map was draw using the coordinates from xearth. So it is
long/lat based and thus I can.
It isn't linear in the x-direction. It uses a sine-function
to shrink the X down the farer it's away from 0 meridian.
Currently it isn't using the latitude to give it an ellipsian
touch. But I could modify the algorithm that converts from
xearth's x,y,z coordinates to the map's x,y.

That would loose the long/lat capability (except it already
has it). And it would blow up the image size again, because
for the animation at least two different gifs must be in it.
