Edit the header file magick/magick_config.h to tailor the settings. 
Most important is the setting for "UseInstalledMagick".  When this one 
is defined then either the Windows registery or hard-coded paths are 
consulted (i.e. requires a formal installation).  Otherwise the .mgk 
files are searched for in the same directory as the executable.
