terminals of Windows.
* Support inline image of <img> tag.
Support of attributes "width", "height", and "align".
* Direct display of image file which header is "Content-type: image/*"
* Support of <map> tag.
Support of attributes "shape" and "coords" of <area> tag.
* Support of an attribute "ismap" of <img> tag.
"w3m" adds coordinate of the cursor as ?<x>,<y> to url, and sends url.

"w3m" sends coordinate of the cursor as <name>.x=<x>&<name>.y=<y>.
* Asynchronous loading of image files.
* Using cache of image file as pixmap.
* Support of GIF animation when use GdkPixbuf.

Setting w3mimgdisplay
"w3mimgdisplay" has the following options. Set options to fit terminal.
-x <offset_x>
The X origin of display of image on terminal. The default value
for X11 is 2.
If the terminal is "xterm", the width of scroll bar is added.
If the terminal is "Eterm", it may be better to specify 5.
The default value for Linux framebuffer device is 0.
-y <offset_y>
The Y origin of display of image on terminal. The default value
for X11 is 2.
If the terminal is "Eterm", it may be better to specify 5.
The default value for Linux framebuffer device is 0.
-bg <background>
Background color of terminal. The default value for X11 is
automatically detected.
The default value for Linux framebuffer device is #000000 (black).
When the color is specified as #RRGGBB, escape '#'.
-anim <n>
Maximum number of frames for animation. It means without limit
if the number is 0. Negative value count backward from the end
of the frames. The default value is 100.
-margin <n>
Margin of an area to clear an image. The default value is 0.
ex.)
w3m -o 'imgdisplay=w3mimgdisplay -x 5 -bg "#cccccc"'
Notice
If you want to see GIF animation, please hit a suitable key, such
as 'h', 'l', etc., repeatedly, because a frame is rewritten
according to the re-drawing demand from w3m.
Some code in w3mimg/fb/fb.c was originally written by Mr. Yamasaki.

On Windows, we check the behaver on standard console, Cygwin rxvt
and PuTTY.
