Maybe you could rescale geo and base to highest multiplier of original resolution (320x200?),  and fill rest with black borders.

So, for example to support resolution 1280x720, you could scale image x3 - to resolution 960x600, and make 60px upper/lower border and 160px left/right border.

It isn't best, but it should keep original game aspect ratio and allow scaling with good effect i think.

Adding support for bigger resolutions in battlescape should be easier - you can just show bigger area. But tile scaling would also be needed, without that in 1600x1200 you probably could nearly see whole map in screen

So, for example scaling tiles x2 and showing 2x bigger area could work nice for resolution 1280x1024.

I've tested under windows xp. Everything works without problems
