CapBMP is my hack included ZBoxZ (palmboxer.sourceforge.net).
Basically I enable it, do something, tap calc to do a 160x160 snapshot
using the current screen depth (it's opensource if you need another
button).
ZBoxZ sends up the BMP files (that is what it stores them in). Then
using Linux (gimp would be overkill) bmptopnm | pnmtogif. Then
gifmerge on the individual gifs to create the animations.
