That's a shame.  That's why we gave up on delegating image support to
ImageMagick in 1999 (or maybe a year or two later).

Has anybody tried GraphicsMagick for image support in Emacs (assuming
it's not somehow taboo for political reasons)?  Their original reason
for forking was to provide a more stable API and implementation.
