Summary: sword2 cutscenes

Initial Comment:
I've done some work on the Broken Sword 2 Animations. 
 
The current code works as following: the animations are 
compressed to mp2 elementary streams. Additionally I've generated 
palette files that assign 256 color paletted to images sequances. 
These palettes were taken from the original animations. The player 
does now take the output of the mp2lib and reduces these to a 
palette index using a lookup table. This is relatively fast and gives 
satisfying results except for areas that are extremely comic like. 
Here we get artefacts. 
 
The lookup table for the color reduction process is calculated while 
playing. 
 
The appended patch includes the player. You still have to modify the 
config.mak to include the path to the mpeg2.h include and the lib. 
The 2 new files I added are extra. 
 
The patch will make scummvm play the intro as long as the speech 
is going. The music of the animation is missing for the music to 
work we need more features in the mixer. We need to find out how 
far a sample has been played. I could not find the necessary 
functions. 
 
I've prepared all animations. All together they are about 34 Mb. If 
someone wants to test the patch he only needs the intro files which 
are about 10 Mb. 
 
All right I hope I've written enough to make you decide on wether 
you want to go this way or not.
