Hmmm...you might want to wait until Harold finishes the various little
graphics libraries.  I *think* he is working on libiconv, libungif, glib,
gtk, and pango.  It certainly would make ImageMagick more robust...  Also,
since Unisys' patent on lzw will be expiring soon, I'd reccommend
compiling with the --enable-lzw flag (and who really cares about them
anyways).  Just my input on the subject...

Cheers,
Nicholas
