The image is sent via stdin to image-magick. The :- argument is always
the last one.

Therefore you cannot combine two mmbase images. You could only combine
an image on disk with an mmbase image. This is possible, though I think
you are limited to absolute filenames (the issue came up on IRC a few
weeks ago).

These could be considered a limitation of the current
implementation. Fixable, perhaps.
