Please note that there are version symbols in gif_lib.h that would allow you to write a version of this patch that builds for either giflib 5.0 or 5.1. Currently these are #define GIFLIB_MAJOR 5 #define GIFLIB_MINOR 1 but if you check for #define GIFLIB_MAJOR 5 #define GIFLIB_MINOR 0 you can conditionalize in the existing image.c code. -- Eric S.
