Nothing further was done here?  So just to recap for new viewers who
have recently joined us:

Currently, anybody who wants to insert an image in Emacs has to say the
equivalent of

(create-image data
              (if (or (and (fboundp 'image-transforms-p)
                           (image-transforms-p))
                      (not (fboundp 'imagemagick-types)))
                  nil
                'imagemagick))

to be somewhat compatible over current Emacses (because we almost always
want to scale images).  That's rather a mouthful, so Alan's suggestion
was to just do this in `create-image', but better.

I took that idea and worked it a bit more so that we never use
imagemagick unless we absolutely need to, to satisfy the user's wishes.

Does the following look OK to everybody?
