So if i understand right, GIF supports/uses partial updates (just like MSRLE).
It's really odd.
We have to decide if we gave up paletted output or gave up partial updates
support (DR2)...
Maybe using draw_slice() from codecs could solve the problem, but it's not
implemented in rgb8->* converters and vo drivers supporting 8bpp.
