Does php5 come with the GD graphics library as standard? http://www.libgd.org
it mentions a version of php4 on their site - do I assume every version since then has it built in?

The documentation here says that there has been a built-in version since PHP 4.3.
But it looks like you need to explicitly include it when configuring PHP. The documentation here says you need to pass --with-gd
to include it.
So you will not be guaranteed to have GD support enabled, but if you are compiling PHP you can configure it to use the built-in version.
