ASCII renderer. There are LOTS of programs already supporting it, like Doom,
Quake, etc. MPlayer contains a very usable driver for it.
If ./configure detects aalib installed, the aalib libvo driver will be built.
- It uses some keys to change Fast rendering ON/OFF, dithering mode change,
- inverse picture, contrast, brightness. Use -vo aa and look out for the help
- text.

+ You can use some keys in the AA Window to change rendering options:
+ 1 : switch fast rendering on/off
+ 2 : set dithering mode (none, error distribution, floyd steinberg)
+ 3 : invert image
+ 4 : decrease contrast
+ 5 : increase contrast
+ 6 : decrease brightness
+ 7 : increase brightness
+
+
+ The following command line options can be used:
+ -aaosdcolor=V : change osd color
+ -aasubcolor=V : change osd color
+ where V can be: (0/normal, 1/dark, 2/bold, 3/boldfont, 4/reverse, 5/special)
+
+ AAlib itselves provides a large sum of options.
+ Here are some important:
+ -aadriver : set recommended aa driver (X11, curses, linux)
+ -aaextended : use all 256 characters
+ -aaeight : use eight bit ascii
+ -aahelp : prints out all aalib options
+
+
+
+
NOTE: the rendering is very CPU intensive, especially when using AA-on-X
(using aalib on X), and it's least CPU intensive on standard,
non-framebuffer console. Use SVGATextMode to set up a big textmode,
then enjoy! (secondary head Hercules cards rock :)) (anyone can enhance

+ Use the -framedrop option if your comp isn't fast enough to render all frames!
+
+ Playing on terminal you'll get better speed and quality using the linux driver, not
+ curses (-aadriver linux). But therefore you need write access on /dev/vcsa<terminal>!
+ That isn't autodetected by aalib, bu vo_aa tries to find the best mode.
+ See http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/tune/ for further tuning issues.
