The problem with imagemagick as a library is that the API is not stable: this 
means that it is very hard for us to continue to keep Krita working with all 
the various versions of imagemagick. Graphicsmagick was created to solve that 
problem. Of course, at some point in time, we won't be dependent on either, 
we use gm/im only for loading/saving bmp, gif, psd and a few other file 
formats that we really want to support ourselves.
