I assume that Ch can parse the GraphicsMagick C API headers so that it 
understands interface structures and enumerations.  Presumably 
functions are called using dynamic binding.

As long as there is an assigned maintainer who will verify correct 
functioning of the bindings prior to each major GraphicsMagick release 
(e.g. 1.2 will be a major release) I will be happy to include the Ch 
bindings in GraphicsMagick.  The maintainer would be responsible for 
any adaptations to work properly with GraphicsMagick.  If the Ch 
binding needs to be installed somewhere, I can arrange for that to 
happen via the configure script and Makefile.

If the Ch binding is not adequately maintained, it would be moved out 
of the core GraphicsMagick package and made a stand-alone contributed 
package.
