I'll try it.  Also, how about adding paletted output for swscale?
Does such a thing make sense?  I have code in vo_gif89a that dithers
into 255 paletted colors already, but I like the idea of moving this
into video filters.  Then the gif vo would be very very simple.
It would just accept the paletted frames and compress and output
them to a file.

And yes, I realize how little everyone cares about gif's.  :)
But I just can't help it, they're so cute.
