The official GD library no longer supports GIF ...

If the OP was concerned about such issues then he/she should not be using GIF
at all!

IIRC the author specifically removed all older versions of GD (those that
supported GIF). Thus is you're talking 'official' support then GD does not
support GIF, period, because the older versions aren't supposed to exist
anymore. So basically if you want GD with GIF you're going have to patch it.
