True, but this is not the point.
The point is that I do expect the (optional?) usage of the LZW algorithm
for GIFs inside the DLL shipped with PHP5 packages.
Why should they consider removing it when it is available in the
"regular" GDLib
package available at the web site? (which is useless for PHP though)
