I know very little of Mac world. How harsh from us is to request users to install imagemagick on their own? Are there some binaries available or we effectively ask for compilation, which I understand is no way for generic user. I tend to agree with Scott that silent lossy conversion of svg into bitmap does not sound as something we should do strive for and as a user I would be happier getting error and warning that something proper is missing in my installation and fix that first.
