Both are not supported on Windows, and both switches should be used if
the user has Imagemagick and DBus libraries installed n their system.

Reminder : DBus does not work in Emacs on w64 because some pieces are missing

in source code. But Emacs compiles with DBus without complaints.

ImageMagick in MSYS2/Mingw64 is at version 7. I have a patch to compile emacs with IM7

that is working pretty well and is useful with Org mode. Actually, an IM7 version of the IM6

patch from https://gist.github.com/rzl24ozi/
