I see very little point in adding non-compressed GIF write support.  The
people who need it are going to need compressed GIF.  You are not going to
want to use uncompressed GIF images on a small mobile device, for example.

I'll put compressed GIF write in the next version as the LZW patent should
be expired by then.
