Actually, I did package 4.1.2 (released a few days ago) and posted it 
for your review also:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2004-03/msg00044.html

It is ready to upload and does the proper amount of re-autotooling 
before building and properly ignores those generated files.

There doesn't seem to be a reason to do --without-x since libungif has 
used it for two years without major problems.
