I'll try the css idea, but I suspect that things this small just can't be resized well. I actually contacted Wilson Miner, and he said that he did create those especially for the admin site. When I asked him about scaling other images (like the famfam ones, which he also pointed me to), he said: "No at those sizes, you have to design the icons at the size they'll be used. Not enough pixels in such a small image to scale properly."
Between the famfam stuff and various other random "finds" on the web, I think I can get by. Thanks for the pointers to that other grey scale library as well. I can see that being useful in the future.
