'album' is a tool to create and maintain an HTML based photo album.
A photo album consists of a number of (large) pictures, small thumbnail
images, and index pages. Optionally, medium sized images can be
generated as well. The album will be organised as follows:
index.html first or only index page
indexN.html subsequent index pages (N = 1, 2, ...)
icons/ directory with navigation icons
large/ original (large) images, with HTML pages
medium/ optional medium sized images, with HTML pages
thumbnail/ thumbnail images
Each image can be labeled with a description, a tag (applies to a
group of images, e.g. a date), the image name, and some
characteristics (size and dimensions).
Images can be handled 'in situ', or imported from e.g. a CD-ROM or
digital camera. Optionally, EXIF information from digital camera files
can be taken into account.

Helper programs
This program requires some helper programs for certain tasks.
jpegtrans will be used to rotate JPEG files loslessly.
If missing, JPEG files will be rotated by ImageMagick,
with possible loss of information.
mencoder is needed to manipulate MPEG files.
If missing, MPEG files will be copied without
processing. They cannot be rotated, and may not be
playable on your mpeg player.
mplayer is needed to extract a still from MPEG movies, and to
extract audio from VOICE files.
If missing, no stills will be produced, and VOICE files
will remain silent.
