Get the most recent version, including the separately distributed
Radius Cinepak and Intel Indeo support options.  Otherwise you won't
be able to view many .AVI files.  The FreeBSD ports description for
xanim doesn't seem to know about these options.  It would appear that
nobody can legally give you a copy of a precompiled xanim with these
options installed.  You have to build it yourself.  This is silly.

See the XAnim Home page:  http://www.portal.com/~podlipec/home.html
