After reading about OptiPNG, I decided to add it into the mix of flatten.py. Since it doesn't support reducing bit depths of grayscale images, I have the script run pngcrush first and then OptiPNG.
Since the last post about flatten, I've made a few other changes as well, such as passing -bit_depth to pngcrush when a bit depth is provided. Since I use this script to compress images for my webcomic, that's an important change.

The runtime options are the same as flatten.py.
