GraphicsMagick 1.1-20030625 snapshots

The latest development snapshots of GraphicsMagick 1.1 are available
from "ftp://ftp.graphicsmagick.org/pub/GraphicsMagick/snapshots".
Normally snapshots are not announced, but this snapshot contains an
adjustment for the static Windows package which may be of interest to
some.

There have been a number of requests for a static binary package of
GraphicsMagick which can simply be copied between machines.  Rather
than create a third kind of package, the static package has been
adjusted so that it may run in place without any registry entries.
Registry entries are still created by the installer for use by other
applications.

The static binaries should be capable of executing totally
stand-alone.  For example 'gm.exe' could be copied to another Windows
system, and it should run without any .mgk files or registry entries.
ImageMagickObject.dll could be copied to another Windows system, and
should be available to programs after executing

  regsvr32 /c ImageMagickObject.dll

Note that the ability to easily copy binaries between machines does
not nullify any existing license requirements to provide a copy of the
license to the user (BSD style) or make source code available to the
user (GPL).

Please let us know if you discover problems with the snapshot package
so we can fix them.
