i have disabled the LZW algorithm by default.
My motivation is to get this packages into the official debian tree.
First through mentors.debian.net where I have an account.

As I described in the package description of libgraphicsmagick it's 
simple to get the LZW package by simple uncomment that part in the 
debian/rules file.

$: apt-get source graphicsmagick
$: cd graphicsmagick-1.1.2
$: $EDITOR debian/rules

#Uncomment the following line if you want the package lzw-enabled
--enable-lzw

Comment: keep attentions that rules is a makefile and you're not allowed 
to keep spaces at the beginning of a line, only TABS.

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -tc
cd ..

be happy with LZW ;)

I will release a package on monday that includes the wrapper as 
described by Michael.

Greetings Sven
