I suggest starting with the Mercurial version of GraphicsMagick since 
there are TclMagick updates (e.g. tcl.m4) since the 1.3.25 release. 
Using development code would allow you to submit source patches which 
can be put in the next release.

This seems unfortunate if true.  I have not heard this complaint ever 
before.  It is easy to add to the Wand API (for a release).

I think that the right way would be to update the Wand implementation 
to clear the exception using DestroyExceptionInfo().

Tcl seems to be a lightly used language these days since it is no 
longer popular.  TclMagick is not used much but that does not mean 
that it is not quite useful and good.
