I have put new GraphicsMagick snapshots out for ftp at
"ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/snapshots".

The only feature addition since the previous snapshot is that Glenn
has added a -random-dither command for rapidly randomly "dithering" an
image to black and white.  The results are not nearly as nice as using
quantization plus dithering, but it is probably 10X to 20X faster, and
still produces appealing results in many cases.

A sample command line is

  gm convert -random-dither intensity 10x90 in.jpg out.pbm

where values below 10 are always thresholded to black, values above 90
are always thresholded to white, and values in between are randomly
thresholded to achieve a dithered effect.
