Summary: set-image-blocker for flash video (flv)

Initial Comment:
Some flash video players don't like it when you block the ads they try to play before the main content, so I came up with the following addition to my action file:

{+handle-as-image -filter +set-image-blocker{http://my.website/blocked.flv}}
/.*\.flv($|\?)

It would be nicer, IMO, to have a short flv animation like this built into privoxy instead.

(BTW, if anyone's curious, I created my own little animation "blocked.flv" by using ffmpeg to convert an animated gif:

ffmpeg -i purple_green_dot.gif -r 5 blocked.flv
)

Thanks. A good idea, and hopefully some day it will get in.
