Yea, but they're quick tests to see if ImageMagick is working
properly.  Just point it at a U.S. location to test out.

Yea.  That has been a problem with ImageMagick.  Our trickiest
library to keep working properly, by far.

Yesterday I updated the instructions in README.win32 (for
Windows/Cygwin boxes) to include downloading/installing liblcms,
which then allows ImageMagick 5.5.7 (the latest) to work with Xastir
on that platform.  Yet another very annoying problem solved.
