BINRLE Image Compression

BINRLE is an efficient 2-tone RLE image compression format supported by the BINRLE options in gfxcon.py

it features 2 additional interpolated conversion modes:

• BINRLE 2-line interpolation: simulates 3 tones
• BINRLE 4-line interpolation: Simulates 5 tones. 

other features: 

• the BINRLE module features a similar set of control variables to PLRLE, so switching between the two algorithms as needed, is fairly quick.
• More efficient compression than PLRLE
• both colors can be changed during runtime.
