 Replying to [comment:10 Schamschula]:
 > I certainly know what a universal variant is! I was commenting that it
 represents a change to the Portfile that is unrelated to this ticket.
 Thank you for assigning the ticket and reviewing the patch!

 Sorry I misunderstood where you were coming from with the "universal"
 question.  Universal was needed as part of providing a complete fix for
 the port as the dependency on my systems and I couldn't conveniently fix
 and test one without the other.

 Regarding a GitHub PR: I do have a GitHub account, but my legacy
 environment's vintage browsers cannot handle the modern script rendering
 requirements of the GitHub web interface to submit a Pull Request.

 Because `giflib5` is marked as `openmaintainer`, and since the attached
 Portfile has been tested  to build out-of-the-box on two legacy setups
 (10.5.8/10.11.6), would it be possible for you or another core committer
 to commit these changes directly to the repository on my behalf?

 Once again, thank you.  I hope this is helpful :-)

 I greatly appreciate your help in getting this landed for the legacy user
 base!
