My point is : ImageMagick is made available by dynamically loading 2 dlls.
If they are not installed, then the feature is disabled (as far as I

What happens if the jpeg or xpm or png dlls are not found ?

It is easy enough to add them and if the patch I posted didn't address this
issue,
this is my mistake. Because it is certainly needed.
