GIF saver code for SDL?

SDL Development

Does anyone have anything like that, or know about some nice library?
(Preferably LGPL, BSD, MIT/X11 or similar.)

I’m looking at the GIF save plugin in GIMP, but it looks like some
hacking…

I need to generate a bunch of properly compressed and colorkeyed GIFs
from scripts (EEL) that use SDL for graphics - but if there’s no
nice, simple solution, I can get away with writing PNGs or even
colorkeyed BMPs, and have the scripts use ImageMagick for conversion.

Years ago, I used GIFSave, a Gif 87 save in C, it can be download here

It’s easy to use and don’t require extra libs–

Looks small, nice and handy, and it’s in the public domain, but
unfortunately, it doesn’t handle GIF89, and I really need the
transparency. (It doesn’t seem like a major project adding that,
though…)

Anyway, GIFSave served as a great starting point for searching. There
are several versions derived from this one, including java
translations and whatnot, and they all support GIF89. Here’s one
that’ll probably do the job:

Thanks!
