MOV and AVI embedded files in Linux standalones

[Pierre Sahores]

Hello Mathewson,

The XAnim linux stuff and some others QT to linux stuffs are all  
using a windows.dll based QT enabler. I tested all those stuff before  
and the emulation process make just them to poor to be serioulsly  
usables under Linux  in a real world production mode...

Sorry not to be able to be more helpfull,

Best Regards,
