Pierre,

Sure, I don't.
I've subscribed to gd-devel (hope my reply will get there).

Yes, I'll try to provide some.

Nothing has arrived so far, but no rush.

Sure, I'll describe it.
There are two options:
- use WCELIBCEX as external dependency, so users need to download
sources them self
- copy missing functions to libgd directly (WCELIBCEX is under MIT license)

Personally, I prefer the first option, because it's easier to keep these
porting library synched in all projects.

OK
