Hello,
I heard some complaints recently about libungif not building on mingw,
and so on. So I'm releasing my version on libungif: libregif.
http://armory.nicewarrior.org/projects/libregif/
Some nice things about libregif:
1) compatible with libungif. (it is libungif, patched)
2) fixed a couple of ungif library bugs.
3) has old libgif lzw compression code added back in.
(so hopefully you care as little about patents as I do...)
4) removed cruft (utils, x11 deps, etc.)
5) made the build system suck just a little bit less.
6) tested on debian, redhat, mingw, and cygwin. RPMs available.
So go use it! It's wonderful!

PS: ( And for the paranoid among you, I'm fairly sure that
the lzw patent finally ran out here in the US last year. )

All philosophy is naive.
