[melbourne-pug] Tool for capturing BOM radar as animated gif?

[Peter Davis]

My script seems to turn most radars into an animated gif. It uses
ImageMagick for the final animated gif creation, I just couldn't get PIL to
generate animated gifs.

Testing consists of the "Works on my machine" certification, so good luck.
