+Subject: [PATCH] Support newer GIFLIB versions
+
+Work with GIFLIB version >= 4.2
+
+Several functions have been renamed or changed in signature.
+
+GIFLIB is used by vo gif89a and demuxer gif.
+
+Note about GIFLIB Version 4.2:
+It does not work with vanilla GIFLIB 4.2 but it works with
+versions that have re-added quantize support like e.g. the
+package from arch linux.
+
+Note about GIFLIB Version 5:
+The newly added GCB functions use size_t but the necessary
+standard headers are not included in gif_lib.h . To workaround
+this:
+
+* configure: use statement_check_broken to include stdlib.h
+* vo gif89: include gif_lib.h after stdlib.h
+* demuxer gif: no workaround needed,
+               gif_lib.h is already included after stdlib.h
+
+
