[Mingw-cross-env-list] ImageMagick vs. GraphicsMagick

[Volker Grabsch]

Dear mingw-cross-env team,

I just added support for the GraphicsMagick library:

    http://www.graphicsmagick.org/

This library is a great alternative to ImageMagick that
doesn't get the attention it deserves. Although ImageMagick
seems to be more popular, I strongly suggest to think about
switching your projects to GraphicsMagick.

>From the website:

"GraphicsMagick is originally derived from ImageMagick 5.5.2
 but has been completely independent of the ImageMagick project
 since then. Since the fork from ImageMagick in 2002, many
 improvements have been made [...] using an open development
 model but without breaking the API or utilities operation."

The website also lists "some reasons to prefer GraphicsMagick
over ImageMagick".

I'm using GraphicsMagick for private stuff as well as in
production code without any problems.


Greets,
Volker
