Really, I've *never* come across a piece of code that used
imagemagick. I think it definitely does have a use, don't get
me wrong, I'm just doubting that the use is widespread enough to
be in PHP's cvs currently...
I think perhaps we should in the meantime have a little
"repository" somewhere of extensions (just a list), where
imagemagick could be listed. Also, as you said yourself,
currently its very basic, so at least we should let it mature a
little (btw, I'm just going on what you said here, I haven't
looked at the code).
