It would be nice to see RSI add some support for MNG. Just as PNG is
replacing GIF, MNG should be replacing animated GIFs. For simple
animations, MNG would be viable especially now that web browsers are
starting to support it. However, this is all a pipe dream since IDL
doesn't support the format. Oh, well.
