+Adjust source code to work with giflib 5.1x
+
+From http://giflib.sourceforge.net/gif_lib.html: GIF file openers and
+closers - DGifOpenFileName(), DGifOpenFileHandle(), DGifOpen(),
+DGifClose(), EGifOpenFileName(), EGifOpenFileHandle(), EGifOpen(), and
+EGifClose() - all now take a final integer address argument. If
+non-null, this is used to pass back an error code when the function
+returns NULL.
