1) just detect no gif support in GD and turn off the GIF output. I
don't like this because I don't like the way some autoconf based

on your system. Thats why PCB will spit out a message saying "your GD
doesn't support this, if you still want to continue, you need to add
--disable-gif" That way you have explicitly acknowledged that you are
not going to get GIF support and you know why.
2) never support gif output. This also seemed lame.
Maybe what I need to do is detect your strange condition where
--disable-gif && --disable-jpeg && --disable-png are all listed and then
try and take out the png HID entirely.
The issue this leaves is that if they use --disable-gif, and libz is not
available to link, the link will fail. It seems to me that --disable-gif
should not still require libz to still be there.

If you're still getting -lz the it is because your gdlib-config is broken.
Try running "gdlib-config --libs". If it has "-lz" and you don't have
libz then it means you have a broken gd installation.
