insecure dependency: Freeimage is littered with CVEs

[Sigmanificient]

Hi, I am currently porting freej2me to nixpkgs (a linux package repository). Unfortunately, the package is stuck in draft due to the Freeimage dependency, which is littered with CVEs:

CVE-2021-33367
CVE-2021-40262
CVE-2021-40263
CVE-2021-40264
CVE-2021-40265
CVE-2021-40266
CVE-2023-47992
CVE-2023-47993
CVE-2023-47994
CVE-2023-47995
CVE-2023-47996

Due to the insecure nature of the dependency, it cannot be merged at the current state. I know that freej2me may not have high security concerns as it isn't a critical application, but I think using a freeimage should be avoided in it's current state.

I hope this can mark the start to migrating towards a vulnerability-free graphics library.

This project is not dependent on Freeimage.

The main project is pure Java. The Libretro core is not dependent on Freeimage.

The only thing that uses Freeimage is @hex007 's SDL interface, which like the Libretro core, is completely optional.

Thanks for your clarification, this is a great news
