OmniImageFilter

The new default behavior is to use OIF as a pasteboard filter to create gif files. If it's not present, it defaults to a pipline of tifftopnm ¦ ppmquant -256 ¦ ppmtogif. The binaries for this pipeline in the appwrapper, however, are only Intel/Motorola, not HP.

Also, I don't know if OIF's color quantization is as nice as the pipeline's.
