It is preferred by me.  And by any other developer that's had to
suffer through the problems that ImageMagick has caused our projct.

Whether the GM support in Cygwin works with Xastir, I don't know.
GM support in Xastir is new this week.  If it doesn't, you can
always remove the GM package and reinstall the IM package.

BTW:  GM is a completely open-source fork of the IM code, and aims
for a stable API.  IM never really did and we bled a lot 'cuz of it.

There was a problem that was fixed, but I don't remember the details
now either.  I think you're good now though.
