GD 2 can read GIF files, but cannot write them, due to the Unisys
patent.

The patent expires on June 20,2003 - that's three weeks!!!

Note that ImageMagick.org have stated:
"...wait until June 20, 2003, when the patent expires and LZW is
enabled by default in ImageMagick distributions."

I hope that GD will do likewise.
If there are plans for updating the PHP GD functions in the next little
while, it would be nice to base it on the new GIF version.
