Dear magick-users,

  I have a question about writing multi-tiff files using the MagickWand 
interface. My understanding is that I have to:

  - initialize everything ie (MagickWandGenesis(), wand=NewMagickWand())
  - add the images to the wand: MagickConstituteImage(wand, ...)
  - write the file: MagickWriteImages(wand, ...)

  This is indeed working, but I get into trouble when I try to write a 
large number of large images to a single file: all images are first stored 
in memory (wand), then written to a file, and memory occupation starts to 
grow. Is there any solution to this?

  Thank you very much!

  Regards,
 	Andrea Parenti
