I'd like to see libMagick.dll out there getting tested
(and available for openDX). Can always update it.

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
