* maybe the comments for TYPO3_CONF_VARS.GFX.gdlib and
TYPO3_CONF_VARS.GFX.gdlib_png should be adjusted to point to GDlib 2 as well

* Install Tool:
** a check for GDlib version 2.x might be added to Basic Configuration >
GDlib
** in Image Processing > Current configuration one of "GDlib enabled"
and "GDlib2 enabled" is obsolete

* What's the sense of keeping the attribute t3lib_stdGraphic::$truecolor
while not respecting it, e.g. in method init()? If it's only kept for
compatibility reasons, its usage should be captured in the deprecation log.


So +0.5 from testing and another +0.5 after sorting out those tiny things

Cheers
Thorsten
