My opinion is that disabling the gif support would be no problem.
Using an open gif lib would be preferable as well I suppose. I
think the best solution to the gif question might be to link it
to ImageMagick or gimp libraries. That would move the
non-medical image format parts out of medcon. That's easier to
say than to do of course :-)
As for the ECAT capability, that is important. That is exactly
what got me interested in medcon in the first place. I don't see
the ecat support being non-free though. Can you point out the
license details? The ecat codes state that they are GPL'ed. I
know that there is a non-free libecat from CTI. I had thought
that was what (x)medcon used. When I looked at the code I found
that was not the case.
A request - please make sure that the package includes medcon as
well as xmedcon.
Regards, Mike
