Well, not necessarily ;-). I am pretty sure xanim author wouldn't mind a
patch for such functionality. If xanim was free, I would probably seriously
look into it, but given the fact it's not even in our distribution officially
(since it's non-free), I don't feel like spending my time adding the
functionality to it.
I'll forward this thread to xanim author.
