I manually generated maps for all *active* games. 

My attempt to update maps based on names in the games directory failed
with syntax errors, so I resorted to using search and replace and
constructing commands to update maps based on the master control file.
For inactive games, it would be necessary to check the dates on the
image files to tell whether any maps present were archived from the old
server or generated in my abortive attempt to generate maps for all
games. I'm not sure how worthwhile that is.

Some of the errors I got were of the "file not found" variety, which may
be the consequence of actually missing files (probably because the game
is no longer active) or may be path issues. I'm not going to have time
to debug that particular problem, but Sam or Manus should be able to
duplicate the error I faced by trying to generate maps for your games.
