[mapserver-users] mapserv 7.0 and gif

[thomas bonfort]

Richard,
Allowing for image/gif in requests and GIF outputformats is to allow
existing mapfiles and requests to still be serviced without breaking,
even though the returned format will be png. The gif dependency is
there to allow loading of gif pixmap symbols, as was already the case.
