 giflib 3.1 is mine, but I'm getting cold feet... Unisys is apparently
 getting frisky (again) about enforcing patents, and my publicly
 releasing giflib sounds like I could be opening myself up for a world
 of hurt. 
Why don't you release a giflib lite that knows only how to read GIFs,
not write them?  Then you could wash your hands off the full version,
until the dust settles.
