Re: Stability of internal ABI.

Daniel,

Your approach to re-constituting the constant strings has also 
re-added the unwanted dependency to the modules.  That dependency does 
not need to exist.  I think that this addition to magick/deprecate.c 
should be sufficient to restore the symbol while keeping them from 
being used by the modules:

#undef LoadImageText
#undef SaveImageText
#undef LoadImagesText
#undef SaveImagesText

extern MagickExport const char
   *LoadImageText,
   *LoadImagesText,
   *SaveImageText,
   *SaveImagesText;

const char
   *LoadImageText = "[%s] Loading image: %lux%lu...  ",
   *LoadImagesText = "[%s] Loading images...  ",
   *SaveImageText = "[%s] Saving image: %lux%lu...  ",
   *SaveImagesText = "[%s] Saving images...  ";
