Animate contents of a stack/card to turn like a page

[Chris Sheffield]

Not sure what the requirements are, but there is a CoreImage page curl  
transition. This would be Mac only, of course. There's a core image  
sampler stack located in Resources/Examples of your Revolution folder.  
Version 2.6 and above I believe. Not sure if there's something similar  
for Windows or not.
