Changes
-------

-New 8 and 24 bit AVI saver module. 8 bit data will be saved in the RIFF_rle8
 format. Every frame in the animation will be compressed seperately, delta
 changes will not be considered. Palette changes during animations are not
 yet supported. 24 bit animationes are saved uncompressed in the BI_RGB
 codec!.

-Bugfixed 8 bit AVI loader module. The bug could cause MainActor to crash
 with certain AVI animations. Especially if caching was disabled. Also
 the AVI loader module was updated to handle animations compressed with
 the RIFF_rle8 codec.

-Bugfixed IFF-Anim5 loader module. All anim5 animations were loaded as loop
 anims, if they did contain one or not.

-Bugfixed FLI and FLC saver modules. They did contain a bug which caused some
 PC players to crash. These problems have been resolved.
