Hi,
Closure currently loads GIF files by saving the contents to a temporary file, running gif2png on the file, then slurping in that file. The attached patch (well, it isn't packaged as a proper patch) allows Closure to load GIF files directly, thanks to Zach Beane's Skippy library.

Interlaced GIF files are not currently supported by Skippy (but this should change shortly). Only the last frame of animated GIFs will be displayed (yes, this is a feature).

I've now committed this change to Closure, and reorganized the image handling code a little in the process.
I have similar code for loading JPEG images via the cl-jpeg library, but am waiting for a stable home for this library to appear.
