Hi,

I took over maintainership of libgd2 and also sort of become part of
the upstream.  We are preparing libgd 2.1.0 release (mainly merged
parts of embedded libgd library in PHP) and API cleanup (visibility of
the symbols).

There's also change from {xpm,noxpm} versions to just one library
(shared and development), it has never worked well and now the
difference between the dependencies are really around ~5MB (and not
the full X11 stack).

The new libgd 2.1.0 will be needed for PHP 5.5.
