00019  * Windows Copyright Microsoft Corporation.
00020  * \par
00021  * Internal Implementation, Windows Only. \n
00022  * You must link the application with "im_avi.lib" 
00023  * and you must call the function \ref imFormatRegisterAVI once 
00024  * to register the format into the IM core library. \n
00025  * Depends also on the VFW library (vfw32.lib).
00026  * When using the "im_avi.dll" this extra library is not necessary. \n
00027  * If using Cygwin or MingW must link with "-lvfw32". 
00028  * Old versions of Cygwin and MingW use the "-lvfw_ms32" and "-lvfw_avi32".
