Thanks for the feedback.  I noticed this annoying dependency myself. 
It used to be that this library was small and readily available but 
now it requires downloading a large SDK.  I will get rid of the 
dependency.

Removing the dependency seems as simple as editing 
VisualMagick/configure.cpp and commenting out the line that looks 
like:

   lib_shared_list.push_back("dxguid.lib");

Then the configure program needs to be re-built.
