Er, you're right.  :)  But, if Debian can host a gif-enabled Gimp in
nonfree then, hypothetically, why couldn't they also host gif-enabled
imagemagick and libgd2?

I was afraid of that.  I did some google searching and couldn't
unearth any patches that looked reliable.  Do you know of any
offhand?  If I can manage to create decent gif-enabled .debs,
I'll put them up on my DSL line.

This will all be moot soon.  A year is not a lot of time...  :)
