The computer at the client end runs the program contained within the web page to alter the map image before it's uploaded, so that the actual data uploaded is already altered and hence small?

That is what I initially envisioned when I suggested something that could run from a browser. Not much point in running it on the server since the whole point is to keep a small bandwidth footprint.
Web development is not my forte either. I could slap together a VB program to generate the basic map, but that would only work for windows users and a few others who are set up to run it in a shell (or however they have been managing it). The conversion is pretty simple. I wish that I could just "record a macro" in Gimp. That would be the simplest, but if it is possible, I have no idea how. I only glanced at script-fu, but I just don't have time or energy to devote to figuring that out right now.
