One trick you can use is to break the picture up vertically into smaller
elements that are just placed right next to each other, and then when the
window is resized, they can just pile up. It's messy when the user does
that, but it makes the site more usable.

More usable? How does it do that? Seems to me, as long as you author the
site so that no text is situated to the off-window side of an image larger
than the window, that it would be better to just have part of the image not
visible than to have little chunks of it cluttering up the screen.

In any case, for anyone that does do this, make sure you test your
formatting at various text sizes. I've seen too many sites that break a
single image into parts, only to have them not line up when the page is
viewed with different font size settings than those used to author the page
(most commonly, there winds up being gaps between the image parts).
