There's a series of APNG command line tools at Sourceforge that I've built before: apng2gif apngasm apngdis apngopt gif2apng They all work with the apng format. Don't remember them requiring the libpng patch to work. Typically I use animated GIF when I need an animated graphics format. I think some other web developers use that format as well (or they do graphics animation with JavaScript). gifsicle is useful in creating animated GIF formats.
