I am actually leaning towards including it and having the image producers reject animated GIFs regardless of libavcodec version since they do not properly support them anyway. This means users on older versions will not be able to load animated GIF as a static, first-frame GIF, but I think that is OK since it is not what was expected anyways? -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
