Actually I found on Mac OS X 10.4.5 (Tiger) that the recent GIF or  
unGIF libraries reached a state where configure recognised them as  
usable (function EGifPutExtensionLast was found). But of course GNU  
Emacs 21.3.50 from CVS in GTK+ look knows the same image-types  
now ... (no 21.4 around)

I see them, of course.

When I press v on an XPM, XBM, or PS file I don't see the picture,  
only the file's internal code. For PNG, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, or PBM  
formats I see the picture and no code at all. This different  
behaviour puzzles me ... (well, XPM, XBM, or PS are kind of ASCII  
internally, and so easy to 'edit')
