OK, I looked, and while it is smaller than the Magick++ library, it
also uses an unusual method of managing images. I think I would much
prefer to work with the classes provided by Magick++. Using reference
counted images seems much more natural to me than having a database of
images indexed by names.
Maybe the Magick++ library could be split into smaller pieces? Or
maybe it doesn't really matter, as even with all the dependencies it
is just a few megabytes and memory is cheap these days (right?).
