you can write it by self using GD 1.2 or later.
GD 1.2 is a gif-manipulating library that uses no device-depended
interface and can write/read gifs and draws on it.
Here is a latest version:
http://siva.cshl.org/gd/gd.html
Some info from readme:
This is the gd gif-manipulating library, version 1.2. It was
created to allow graphs, charts and the like to be generated on the
fly for use on the World wide Web, but is useful for any
application in which custom .GIFs are useful. It is not a paint
program; it is a library.
[snipped]
gd has been compiled in various forms on all major platforms.
It is happiest on a machine with 32-bit addressing and
a proper stack (ie, anything running Unix, VMS, Windows NT
or any other modern operating system), but is entirely
usable under DOS and Windows. Note, however, that the
flood-fill routines are mildly recursive and may fail on machines
with tiny stack areas. Also, the fonts require a significant
amount of memory (they are optimized more for speed than
for size), but they need not be linked by applications that
do not use them. Otherwise the code is highly
portable as long as you have an ANSI C compiler.
And from documentation:
gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly
draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple
colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and
write out the result as a .GIF file. This is particularly
useful in World Wide Web applications, where .GIF is the
format used for inline images.
