You can use +UA while outputting to a format that supports alpha 
transparency (PNG or TGA).  You'll need some sort of external program 
to convert to transparent GIF (gag, spit).  Be aware that support for
transparent TGA is spotty; even Photoshop (version 4 anyway) doesn't 
support them correctly.
