Ah! So you want to add the three variants, which effectively means 6 new
functions (C and asm). It looks like we've started to slip... :-)

I agree with your premise: RLE sprites are "static" images. So I think the
line to draw for them is the following one: no support for geometric
transformations. (The [AD] archives are here again much missed). And I agree
with your last conclusion too: a draw_gouraud_rle_sprite routine would be
acceptable from this point-of-view (be it technically feasible).
