Oooh you might be able to guess from the name... ImageSequence is a
sequence of... wait for it.... images :-)

osg::ImageSequence "is a" osg::ImageStream, so is designed to provide
a continuous stream of images that are played back movie style.

The difference with ImageSequence is that you can build the movie from
a sequence of user defined Images or use defined image files.  The new
osgDB::ImagePager will handle converting the image file names into
images, a bit of similar way that PagedLOD works when coupled with the
DatabasePager.  Like the DatabasePager it's not a coupling that a user
needs to wire up themselves, this will all happen automatically, or
will once I complete the implementation :-)

Robert.
