I'd like to add a native wxPython animation tool, but want to get the
georectifier built first.

If we had a good mpeg output, there is a real nice media viewer built into
wxPython. However, there have been several discussions about mpeg (or other
media) output that been pretty disheartening. The last time this was
discussed, I got the impression that most encoders are either proprietary or
not cross-platform.

However, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to more or less do what xganim
does. The way I've been thinking about it is to have the user specify a
prefix OR simply list a bunch of maps. These would then be rendered as PNG's
using r.out.png and then sequentially displayed in a canvas, with some
control buttons.
