KHTML developers: Animated GIF playing

[Mosfet]

Okay, those are some good tests. Both work fine using libungif and pixieplus, 
(using local files). The first one hardly uses any CPU at all on my AMD 
Athlon and the second one loads after a second or two, (not bad for a 1.8meg 
GIF ;-)

I'll go ahead and do try to do a incremental version that will work off of KIO 
and repost. I'll also take a look at KHTML and try to see if I could 
determine a better way of repainting, although you guys know more about that 
than I do.
