I have placed a Unix sdiff between GraphicsMagick's logo.c and
ImageMagick 5.5.7-1's pattern.c at the URL
"http://www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/logo_pattern_diff.html"
so that people can make their own judgement call.

Note that while I added the pattern images to logo.c, I generated
the names for the image arrays myself since the names in XFig were
either inappropriate or non-existent.
