Does this mean that other packages that only read gif's can be enabled to do 
so, eg graphics/magicpoint will use libungif if told to?

Having said that I notice that there's a USE_GIF variable for setting in 
mk.conf, so shouldn't this have used that, and it's also not got a dependancy 
on libungif (or whichever gif library it uses)?

Cheers,
