[worldKit-dev] GIF images to mark annotation

[Giorgio Plazzotta]

Mikel in a situation like this  I prefer to renounce the transparency of the 
GIF format because I think that the diffusion of the Flash player is more 
important. But at least we know that when the 8 version will be a standard 
also ths feature will be easily provided.
Thanx Giorgio
