As a side-note: Gmagick is forked from Imagick code. It would've been nice
to support both GraphicsMagick and ImageMagick in Imagick but the two
projects have drifted too far apart from each other since forking of GM. The
development goals of the respective projects are so different that I would
expect them to have even more differences in the APIs in the future.
I am OK with the name and the license if that counts for anything.
