>Description:

	a) ImageMagic-3.7.8 released today (Nov 24)
	b) The version which supports lzw-compression of GIF
	   and other images is stored usually in subdirectory
	   lzw of the official URL. I'd suggest, use of ``lzw''
	   be made optional (or standard with non-lzw being
	   otional) in the same manner netscape3 port has an
	   option for netscape-gold installation.
	c) list of ftp-sites, where the new version is available
	   is big. This seem to be the official mirrors:
		  ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick
		  ftp://ftp.cci.fr/pub/unix/gfx/ImageMagick
		  ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/pub/graphics/ImageMagick
		  ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/graphics/image/ImageMagick
	d) I hope, that list of plug-ins, FreeBSD's port support will
	   expand in near future to
		i)  use new tiff-3.4
		ii) use recently submitted jbig and hdf ports

>How-To-Repeat:


>Fix:
	
Besides adding hdf and jbig to the list of libraries needed (when
they are commited to the ports/graphics), I'd suggest smth like this:

MASTER_SITES=     ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick \
  ftp://ftp.cci.fr/pub/unix/gfx/ImageMagick \
  ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/pub/graphics/ImageMagick \
  ftp://ftp.u-aizu.ac.jp/pub/graphics/image/ImageMagick

.if defined(NOLZW)
MD5_FILE=       ${FILESDIR}/md5.nolzw
DIST_SUBDIR=    nolzw
.else
RESTRICTED=     "Unisys claims that they have the right to demand licenses and/or fees from free software incorporating the LZW algorithms, even though they are currently not doing this."
MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=lzw
.endif

pre-fetch:
.if !defined(NOLZW)
        @${ECHO_MSG} "Note you can make the \"lzw-free\" version by typing \"make NOLZW=yes\"."
.else
        @${ECHO_MSG} "Making the \"lzw-free\" version."
.endif
