Two other possibilities are the GIF code in xv and ImageMagick.  The
GIF code in xv is not shareware like the rest of xv:
/*
 * xvgif.c  -  GIF loading code for 'xv'.  Based strongly on...
 *
 * gif2ras.c - Converts from a Compuserve GIF (tm) image to a Sun Raster image.
 *

and it is only 768 lines long.

I don't have any ImageMagick source handy.
