Thanks for your interesting attachment.  I noticed some things in
there that have been on my list of pet peeves for a while.  Eventually
most of that should get resolved, but I am very busy, so patches
against cvs-head are always welcome, and will probably result in
things getting fixed faster than just waiting for me to get around to
it.

I did do some initial work on integrating Randy Phillips png driver
some time ago, but got seriously bogged down with the whole rehosting
to sourceforge thing, and have never gotten back to it.  A key part of
the job is to futz with the autoconf support so it can autodetec
libpng and all that.  One of these days...

I doubt we'll make effort to support GIF with PLplot.  I have enough
troubles in life without inviting attacks from Compuserve lawyers.

Poscript is already well supported, I believe.  Are you have some
particular problem?
