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.
