TexturePacker - Compile all images used in a XBMC / Kodi skin into a single file

Description

       Kodi uses a tool named TexturePacker to compile all images used in a skin into a single file. The benefit
       of it is that images inside the Textures.xbt will load faster in the skin. This is done by converting all
       images into a format that take less processing by Kodi when they need to be rendered onto the screen.

       A common misconception is that TexturPacker will just compress the images into a single file. This if far
       from  the truth, so don't be surprised if the Textures.xbt file is much larger than the total size of all
       the individual images.

       The optional -dupecheck option is useful if you have included the same image multiple times in your media
       folder. For example, if your skin includes a lot of studio logos, most likely a lot of them are  included
       multiple times but with a slightly different filename. The '-dupecheck' option will make sure each unique
       image is included only once in the Textures.xbt file, thus keeping the size of it as small as possible.
