Cross-platform, Java
allows one to make animated PNGs
this:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/giftoapngconver/ also Java-based (Win,Lin)
converts animated GIFs into APNGs (although that is fairly silly as you
will keep the 256 colour limit in the original GIFs)
KSquirrel views APNGs (amongst 56 other formats):
http://ksquirrel.sourceforge.net/ (Linux KDE; although this is not
strictly true as it can work with GNOME)
However I don't see much future in this if tha major browsers (and RunRev)
don't support it.

GIFs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_Interchange_Format#Animated_.gif>
."
perhaps we can coerce the mother ship to include it someday...

I have just discovered a quick way to run up an animated GIF from an image
sequence (rather than plonking every frame in place and getting w*****'s
