From: pierre@dotgeek.org (Pierre-Alain Joye)

Hello,

This is a last warning before I cleanup the GD in HEAD.

The cleanup consists of:

* Drop Freetype 1 support

* Drop GD1 support

* Remove functions getting deprecated by the precendent 2 points

* bump the minimum version of the required libs (I left zlib to the
  base dependency as it is used anywhere).
  
  - libpng, 1.2.8
  - libjpeg 6b3x
  - freetype 2.1.10

These versions match the last releases of each lib. As far as I
can see they are available for various distributions as well.
Obviously, we will use any critical releases which can raise from
now and the "hypothetic" php 6.0 first RC.

Once the cleanup is done, a sync with the official GD can be
commited.

If someone has any objection to a cleanup or comments, please do it
quickly :)


Regards,
