MPEG-I Video Codec

For the midsemester deadline, we coded an MPEG-I video encoder and decoder
which each use only intra coding (I-frames).  All of our midsemester
project goals were met.

The decoder will correctly parse MPEG video files and display the I frames
to a window on an X display.  A TrueColor display is currently required.  
P and B frames are also parsed, but are not decoded.  Performance is
reasonable: a QCIF sized MPEG stream consisting of only I frames can be
decoded in close to real time.

The encoder reads a YUV file and outputs a valid MPEG-I video stream
consisting of only I frames.  This video stream can be decoded with a
third-party decoder.  The quantization level can be specified at run time.

Remaining for the final demo: Motion compensation/estimation to provide
P and B frame support.
