Thanks for the NEWS warning; I included that in the pkgsrc commit
message.

I am guessing that pretty much nobody wants to use these any more, and
that anything that needs to be done can be done by
ImageMagick/GraphicsMagick or some such, and thus this is not a big
deal, impacting perhaps only a few people, perphaps no actual people,
running very old scripts.  Is that a fair characterization?
