Thanks Ryan!

I'll clean the code up a bit, and probably make a little test app to go 
along with it.

I was uncertain about what we're allowed to do with the SDL source in the 
public domain, as a while ago there seems to be an opinion that one could 
not statically link to the SDL code (supposedly violated some licensing).  
I was under the impression that, in general, if one releases all the source 
code to their app, then how one linked to SDL became a non-issue.

In this case (animated GIF suppport), it has nothing to do with static 
linking or changes to the SDL core - but from past experience, I got the 
impression there were things we couldn't do with the SDL code (outside of 
releasing it in a retail work).

Stay tuned for the "derived work"! :P
Doug.
