There is no such thing as an xcf animation file... If you're talking
about that animation support involving multiple files, you can simply
batch convert them to PNG using <Image>/<Video>/<Frames Convert> and
then probably encode them to anything you want.

The problem is: xcf depends on the GIMP internals heavily. You'd need to
reinvent or fork lots of GIMP code to get really useful XCF support. I
would not want to do that. BTW: There was some effort to add XCF support
to ImageMagick a while ago (probably Sven meant that thread).
You might be better off writing a Perl-Fu to do the job.
