/*

 Differences between a wxAnimationDecoder and a wxImageHandler:

 1) wxImageHandlers always load an input stream directly into a given wxImage
    object converting from the format-specific data representation to the
    wxImage native format (RGB24).
    wxAnimationDecoders always load an input stream using some optimized format
    to store it which is format-depedent. This allows to store a (possibly big)
    animation using a format which is a good compromise between required memory
    and time required to blit it on the screen.

 2) wxAnimationDecoders contain the animation data in some internal variable.
    That's why they derive from wxObjectRefData: they are data which can be shared.

 3) wxAnimationDecoders can be used by a wxImageHandler to retrieve a frame
    in wxImage format; the viceversa cannot be done.

 4) wxAnimationDecoders are decoders only, thus they do not support save features.

 5) wxAnimationDecoders are directly used by wxAnimation (generic implementation)
    as wxObjectRefData while they need to be 'wrapped' by a wxImageHandler for
    wxImage uses.
