Exportation of animated GIFs #11

Ability to export multi layer view as an animated GIF.

Probably best to be able to allow a certain amount of customization during the process:

Have it able to live preview the output using JavaScript to mimick an animated GIF by swapping canvas generated PNGs.

On submit, it will send through a series of generated PNGs to the server, which will then return a compiled GIF.

It may be best to automatically make the animated GIF always available, but on a separate host URL which will allow me to easily move hosting from the main website later if traffic becomes an issue. Something like: http://img.mordritch.com/234234.gif

I would however like to use a URL scheme which is kind of like that of youtube / imgur.

Also, there should be server side analytics available so that I can get an idea of how much traffic it causes.
