[mdlug] Video -> gif conversion software?

[Wojtak, Greg]

Yes, I use the Gimp extensively on my Mac.  The only heartbreaker is that I
can't seem to find a GAP for Mac and am unable to get it to build.  Perhaps
if I built it from source, I'd have better luck.  But I haven't had the time
to address the daunting task of building all the dependencies and so forth.
Maybe sounds like a weekend project.

Meanwhile, back at the Hall of Justice, mmPlayer works great on Mac and I
can X forward GAP from my Linux box to my Mac.

Thanks for everybody's help!
