Damn good question...  normally it is an option on the 'save as' but I 
don't see any such option.  Nor was I able to save a GIF file in gimp 
when I opened a JPG file and tried 'save as'.

But I *do* see that convert has an option for specifying the 
'transparency color' so maybe you can use that...
