#17193: Ports using libungif should be switched to use giflib instead

------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
libungif is no longer necessary since the last of the LZW patents
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gif expired] on July 7, 2004. Since the
libungif and giflib ports conflict, all ports using libungif should switch
to use the preferred giflib instead.
A quick run of
{{{
port echo depends:libungif
}}}
shows the following list of ports needs to be updated:
{{{
AfterStep
camlimages
driftnet
evas
gnustep-gui
gtk-canvas
magicpoint
MPlayer
qt4-x11
salasaga
simage
swftools
windowmaker
xv
}}}
But that list is incomplete. It does not include ports that refer to it
using "lib:libungif:libungif" syntax.
