Ignoring for the moment that, using the current CVS version, it doesn't
seem to work at all (at least not for userphotos with gdlib):

The problem is that on the "client" side (usersettings.php and admin/
story.php), the code still expects the upload class to return .gif files
- it doesn't know about the PNG conversion and there doesn't seem to be a
way to get the actual file names back.

Which would also explain why the userphotos aren't working, as it's doing
a file_exists() there before adding the file name to the database.

One has to wonder if the PNG conversion makes sense anymore, now that the
LZW patent has finally expired world-wide ...

bye, Dirk
