Started a thread to get a quick discussion going so answers can be derived soon 
from it.

I much prefer GraphicsMagick over ImageMagick for a variety of reasons. GM is a 
fork of IM, but is more stable.

That being said, I find myself sometimes installing a Linux that doesn't have 
GM so I pick IM instead, knowing that Xastir will work with either. As for me, 
I'm willing to take on the burden of installing from source for those cases 
where the Linux that doesn't have a GM package available. Most people would 
rather not install from sources though.

Will we be putting any burden on users if we force the use of GM and cut out IM 
support, for those that don't have GM as a standard package? That's about my 
only concern.
