To PDL Users/Developers-

This is a bug fix roll-up release of the latest
PDL git.

Chris, with your experimental change to t/picrgb.t, the tests get run (on my PC) for GIF, PNM and TIFF.

No problems with PNM and TIFF, but the GIF testing fails.
I see error messages such as:

wpnm: pbmconverter error: 'ppmquant' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Indeed, I have no ppmquant.exe so I guess that's the problem. (My Netpbm is about 6 years old, but it's the most recent that's provided by the GnuWin32 project.)

The GIF testing happens first, and the failure actually kills the script, so no other picrgb.t tests get run.

My Netpbm installation does, however, contain a perl script named 'ppmquant'. Maybe there's some way it can be utilised. (I'll look further at this over the coming days.)

No other problems to report, except that the PDL::Graphics::PLplot version 0.54 that ships with PDL is still broken if we build against the latest plplot-5.9.8. Not sure if I should wait for Doug to upload his new improved PDL::Graphics::PLplot or just push an interim fix to the problem, anyway.

Cheers,
Rob
