  IMO in the case of our modules that use GIFLIB I do *not*
suspect them to be changed very often in the future. That
is why I thought backwards compatibility would be nice and
why I tried to retain it.

  Coherently I have missed some previous discussion, but
I would like to keep backward compatibility for now. If
future GIFLIB changes would complicate matters we could
drop it easily enough.

  I will looko into the old arguments now.
