This is a very good, point we really should drop support for things like
gd1 (no reason anymore, latest versions (including bundled) have GIF
support). These only add a hundreds of ifdefs to the code or prevent
usage of new(er) functionality.
IMHO we should see what is the lowest possible version of a lib
distributed by commonly used distro and upgrade our requirements to @
least that version.

Hello,
+1 to all things, same comment as the opcode cache Ilia's one.
I would like to add one from my wishes:
Bump version for the required library as high as possible (or
realist) and do not support museum softwares at all, like droping
freetype v1 for example. Most of the users do not use it anymore,
but it will make the whole much more clean and easier to maintain.
