Well folks, as I am still stewing over what I should do about my modified giflib, I went ahead and created a 'giflib-lite' that does decoding only (and therefore should be safe from UniSys's goons). Even better, this gifreader lib now is fully autoconf and libtool enabled, so building it should be a breeze. Please grab a copy of 0.9 (I don't have docs written yet, so it ain't final) from http://www.camelot-soft.com/~jareth , build it, and apply the patch below to xemacs to make it use the lib (which is also now a lot smaller, yeah!). 1998-05-28 P.
