giflib does not configure GL extension

[Tobias Eiseler]

There is an Error in the current giflib configure file. Since Linux is a case sensitive system, and giflib's configure looks for gl/gl.h (in reality, it is GL/gl.h), you have to do some sed trick to get it to work. I do find . -type f -exec sed -i "s/gl\/gl.h/GL\/gl.h/g" {} \; if the giflib source directory just to be sure to catch all the small gl's in any sourcefile. Maybe you could add that the the book.

Updated milestone to 6.7

giflib works only with SGI GL library and looks for libgl_s.so or whatever. That one isn't part of BLFS. Won't fix.
