I was thinking about this too. What's preferred? I was thinking that I
wanted to fix p?mforge and use the elf libraries before I uploaded it
but I realized that I should just upload it and then work on those other
issues. I can set this up either way.
The other issue here is the gif copyright issue. What I was
conjecturing was to make a netpbm-gif package that contained all the gif
code. This would go into non-free with the rest of netpbm going into
graphics. How does that sound?
