I'd like to bring up two changes to lib/configure.m4 regarding conversion
of tgif files to .eps and .png
>cvs diff configure.m4

I think there is no problem with making the first change (i.e. inserting
-color). As for the second change, Angus was "not happy", but the
explanation can be found here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lyx-devel&m=104448273626978&w=2
that post also contains the reason for why the simple solution doesn't
work. Anyway, I'm leaning towards the solution above (rather than
\converter tgif png 'tgif -stdout -print -xpm $$i | xpmtoppm | pnmtopng > $$o' ""
as also suggested in the message, because then if you can export to
.png properly from tgif, it'll also work with lyx).
Michael should probably say something about this.
