You are suggesting that GraphicsMagick should come with JMagick?  This 
is something that I proposed to the JMagick author before but he did 
not respond.  It is pretty clear that most "JMagick" bugs reported in 
the JMagick mailing list are due to binary incompatability between the 
JMagick DLL and the ImageMagick DLL, or due to the enumeration values 
in JMagick not matching those in ImageMagick.

GraphicsMagick has a much more stable interface than ImageMagick, but 
even with GraphicsMagick there would be more assurance of correctness 
if JMagick was bundled.
