Minimise bitmap mini/bmp.bmp 
Smashed the 334 bytes original down to a slim 60 bytes, by hand crafting a v1.x BMP file.

All versions of the BMP format begin with a basic 14 byte file header.
Next is the secondary DIB header; 12 bytes is the smallest possible (IBM OS/2 – v1.x BMP files).

Avoiding the more ‘advanced’ / modern bitmap file formats has a big impact for small files, while still widely supported and well documented.
