Like I said, it may be stupid, but that's their problem. :)

Well, I didn't believe you, so I went and got Imlib 1.4 and built it
without libgif. And sure enough, it worked. :) Not that I intend to
use that version, since that would be stupid. (I *do* have libgif,
after all.) But I'm a thoroughly happy camper that it worked. :)
The libtool stuff needs some work. I had to hack the paths to make
it work. I think it has to do with Solaris' seriously messed up
/bin/sh. To make it work, I changed line 151 of libtool to:
thisdir=`echo "$0" | sed -e 's%/[^/]*$%%'`
That should work on any system.

Or just get an OS without any reasonable capacity for shared library
support (*cough* AIX *cough*). =)
