	Can I, A'rpi? Huh? Can I? Please?...:) I know I've written a
functional MS-RLE8 decoder (not as easy as it sounds with all its little
quirks), but I don't remember if I finished my MS-RLE4 decoder. Both of
them would be very simple to drop in. Then we can do "cvs remove
xa/rle8.c"...:)

	Video-1 and FLI don't output YUV data, nor do I plan to implement
this. The source data was RGB, and it makes sense that the output data is
also RGB.

	It'll probably go something like this:
1) Pick a task that interests me at that moment
2) Work on it until either
  a) I complete it satisfactorily
  b) I get bored with it
3) Goto step 1

  :) I'm a mess, I really am...seriously, if I had to pick an order, it
would probably be the order I listed in the original message.

	I'll upload the requested MOV media soon...
