Is that actually the issue?  How do you know which versions of libgd are
being used by other projects?

There was a positive response to Joe's patch initially (off-list).  Is
anyone planning to adapt it for 5_0 branch before the 5.0.1 release, is it
going to wait until 5.1, or is it now abandoned for some reason?

Just wondering..
