 My modified giflib will co-exist just fine with gifreader (there is no
 overlap of file or library names, I just called it 'giflib-lite' for
 clarity purposes, and apparently this backfired upon me).  I wasn't
 aware that the Gimp was using giflib, so I'll talk to them and see if
 they want copies of my changes. 
There is a package called libungif. It is a support lib of the GNOME project
and does the same as your gifreader. Perhaps we can also use this one (just to 
keep the number of different giflibs low...).
