MASyV 0.11 has been released

Here is what changed since MASyV 0.10:

. Capture to movie files is now done using gstreamer instead of transcode. This
switch fixes the messed up colour problems that sometimes arose using
transcode's independent codecs library. Now, gstreamer uses a single shared
pipeline with harmonized codecs for the different encodings. This changes
MASyV's optional dependencies for encoding simulations to movies (see
http://masyv.sourceforge.net/help/#getting). Simulations can now be encoded
to either:
- Raw (.avi): raw stream in avi container;
- Theora Multimedia (.ogm): theora stream in an ogg container;
- Apple QuickTime (.mov): mpeg4 stream in a mov container; or
- Windows Media Video (.wmv): msmpeg4 stream in an asf container.
XViD/DivX encoding was removed because it added an extra dependency on
gstreamer-plugin-really-bad that I probably shouldn't encourage.

. Added a new client agent function called masyv_send_circle which allows users
to send a circle of a given radius for masyv to display. Command syntax is
the same as for masyv_send_agent, where image number (5th arg) is the
radius of the circle in pixels (not simulation cells). Refer to the MASyV
API (http://masyv.sourceforge.net/help/api.php) for full details.

. To ease porting of MASyV to Mac OS X, re-wrote part of masyv so that it no
longer passes argc and argv to gtk_init() and gdk_gl_init() because this
messed up the client arguments under Mac OS X.
