 Mythweather does not have the ability to display animated GIF images.
 When it displays the animated maps, it takes, from the XML file, a list of
 still images, and displays them in order to give the appearance of an
 animated image.

 Some sources provide an animated GIF image, but, when this single animated
 GIF image is provided as a source, MythWeather only displays the GIF as a
 still image.  Hence, it looses it's animation.

 This patch does two things:
 1. It allows for the XML file to contain only a single image URL which
 would be an animated GIF.
 2. It updates the script to use ImageMagick to split apart the animated
 GIF in to its individual frames.

 The assumption that is made here is that IF only one image is supplied in
 the <animated></animated> section, then it is an animated GIF image.
