I run Windows so the exe is not bigger because the dlls are dynamically
loaded.
My problem is rather about emacs configuration. Various packages are able
to generate
preview images on the fly. How a normal user will know that ImageMagick or
libpng
will render those images ? How to switch from one to the other if needed ?
Or should ImageMagick supersede everything else when it is available ?
Also some packages call mogrify to resize images. If emacs is compiled with
ImageMagick support, surely the cost of calling an external program can be
spared.
I had the feeling that when ImageMagick support is compiled in, the other
graphic format
libraries could be removed. But that may not be that simple.
I hoped that someone had a good overview of the various options and comment
on that
feeling.
