WOW thanks Arralen! That worked SO WELL.
Here is a short Version I worked up for use with my Windows Version of GIMP
load .tga and open layers
Rclick image, select-> by color, choose color, Shft-Ctrl-L
go to layers, clik "keep transp", clik "new layer"
select original layer, repeat above for both border colors
after getting 3 transparent floating layers, select blur
Ctrl-M to merge all layers then save
Now if I could just get someone to autoscript it
