giflib-5.2.2

[Bruce Dubbs]

New point version.

[Xi Ruoyao]

It attempts to use convert from ImageMagick:

convert ../pic/gifgrid.gif -resize 50x50 giflib-logo.gif
make[1]: convert: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [Makefile:46: giflib-logo.gif] Error 127

I worked it around with cp pic/gifgrid.gif doc/giflib-logo.gif.

Replying to Xi Ruoyao:

Oops, security update during freeze :(.

It does not seem to be serious. It can wait until March.

This version also installs .xml files in /usr/share/man/man1 instead of man pages. There is an upstream report with a patch at ​https://sourceforge.net/p/giflib/bugs/168/
