On 14 March 2011 I finished my 32-bit DOS port of Eddie Kohler's Gifsicle version 1.61 using DJGPP version 2.04 beta.

Binaries, user manuals in ASCII format, and fully configured sources plus some simple instructions on how to rebuild are available at http://www.bttr-software.de/ports/.

Changes from 1.60 to 1.61:
* gifsicle: Add new -O3 optimization level, which applies several transparency heuristics and picks the one with the best result. David Jamroga pointed out a file that gifsicle made larger; -O3 shrinks it.
* gifsicle: Correct some optimizer bugs introduced in 1.59 that could lead to visually different output.
* gifdiff: Add -w/--ignore-redundancy option.
* gifview: Correct crash bug.
* gifsicle/gifdiff: Correct occasionally odd error messages.
