[Savannah-hackers] Re: bayonne: GIF files (fwd)

[David Sugar]

Historically we have some documentation that was generated thru 
automated free software packages (doxygen being one example that comes 
to mind), and it appears these generate gif's.  The LSM presentation 
slide conversion program also seems to have created gif's.  Perhaps some 
of these can be solved in the future by using a command line option that 
offers .png rather than .gif generation; I will have to look into the 
packages in question.

I will also have to look at what we have in the contributed artwork and 
logos for Bayonne.  Those might also be gif's.  When I get a chance 
later this week, I will try to address this.
