I'll be fixing this, this weekend, using the method that's
(unfortunately) the one the the gnuplot authors want: I'll be making a
port of the old 1.4 version of the gd stuff, with clear notes to folks
NOT to update this, and I'll rename the lib to libgdold. I'll then set
up gnuplot to link to libgdold, and then we'll all be cracking.
gnuplot didn't take advantage of the new gd png features anyhow, so
nothing lost here, until someone tries to get funny and update gd-old.
Oh, and this PR is a duplicate of another one. I'll have to find it and
close this one now, with a ref to the older PR.
