Cool. I haven't started looking at this yet, but your patches should make
it easier to figure out what permanent adjustments need to be made to the
automake setup. Your problem with the image loading code is presumably
that you were just missing the required supporting libraries (zlib, jpeg
and gif libraries) in your build setup? If that is the case then that
should be no problem to resolve. Ideally, the QuickTime API should be used
to load images since the jpeg and gif libraries are really redundant on
Mac OS. I've seen some example code for doing this and I think that it
should be easy to implement. I hope to find time to look at this before
the summer.

Michael.
