The better record of GraphicsMagick notwithstanding, I think going
that way would be a step back, as every additional dependency library
of such complexity adds a significant amount of hair in the Emacs code
and maintenance burden.

We could, of course, use the GraphicsMagick's equivalent of 'convert',
as another alternative of an external converter, if we decide to add
the feature suggested by Lars.
