animate-birthday-present

[Masatake YAMATO]

Today I've found the greatest emacs lisp program I have ever seen.
(Till today dired is the best.)

If the maintainer permits, I'd like to use the program for my wife.
If the maintainer doesn't permit because `animate-birthday-present' 
is a finished product, I'd like to withdraw the patch.
