IFF FILM DataType, which is able to load and play IFF FILM
streams. Source included.
animation.datatype subclass.

Features are:
- Supports input depths > 8 planes

- Various improvements in documentation and code, mainly to show some
  implementation details for programmers who want to implement other
  animation.datatype subclasses

- Supports writing (DTM_WRITE) in local format (IFF FILM) with various options
  (start frame, number of frames, frame step etc.)

- It's now possible to create an "empty" film.datatype object, which
  allows the conversion "animation.datatype subclass" (read) -> "film.datatype"
(write)

- Verbose output

- Matches the "DataTypes" proposal.

- Supports clipboard as input

- Dynamic loading of frames (disk-based) or
  cache all frames (ram-player)

- Source

- Preference file with various options
