Led off: show main overlay normally.
Led on: any non-transparent part of led image is temporarily copied over main overlay image.
Very simple. No need for annoying coordinate files!

Could be a good idea, but take care to not end with the ugly scaled graphics solution like in the openMSX leds... Besides that, I like the current WinUAE solution, it's simple and aesthetically perfect.
@Marty2AGA: sorry for me being so negative about your suggestion, I love the MAME/WinUAE overlays feature too, and yours example picture is great, too. But funny, some days ago I was just thinking, heck why the openMSX devs doesn't come with some simpler solutions like the WinUAE's one? (Sorry openMSX devs...)
