Call the spell 'gifsicle', and perhaps query the user (via PREPARE)
whether they wish to install LZW compression support, which requires a
license, and if they say 'y', then install gifsicle, otherwise download
and install ungifsicle. If this is too difficult, then just have it
install gifsicle and in the DETAILS' long description explain about the
licensing issue, then it is up to the user to be license-compliant (either
way, I don't believe this should be in z-rejected, as this patent is
nonsense anyways, so... ;))
