Those of us who own a copy of the "Eric Schwartz Productions Archive"
CD and had to make do with xanim to play the animations, were a little
dissappointed when a few of the really neat ones contained chunk IDs
that xanim couldn't parse.  Uncool. 

Included below is a patch to xanim-2.70.6.3 that allows it to blindly
skip over the new IFF extensions.  Eric's files only used these for
sound, which xanim currently doesn't support in the Moviesetter format
anyway.  For earlier xanim releases, use the alternative statement
that's been commented out.
