Hi,

> Some arguments against it:
> * Very small color range support: 8 bit per pixel == 256 colors for a picture
> * True color is only supported when creating 256 bit tiles in a single picture,
>   each tile can use different parts of a 24 bit RGB color space
> * Only suitable for small animations and low-resolution film clips
> * No control over animation frame rate/animation flow/pausing while
> playing GIF's

these limitations should be noted in the manual (please Anna), but
it's not the reason why the tool developed by Anna shouldn't support
animated GIF output. Of course support for video output is very
important, and should be implemented in some way (probably with extra
dependency, eg. mencoder or so).
