Well, PHP 4.3 solves the problem by embedding its own GD version anyway 
;-)

Well, if I'm in the mood for ugly hacks, I may use output buffering
to get back phpinfo() results... Otherwise what I'm gonna do is probably
to disable high-quality thumbnails (a.k.a. ImageCreateTrueColor and 
ImageCopyResampled) on versions below 4.3.0. If people ask why this
is the case, I'll explain that their PHP version is badly coded 
and forbids us to do a runtime check for these functions...

Thank you for your answer,
