But it sounded like what was happening was that Xastir's configure was finding
GraphicsMagick, *NOT* failing during configure, not going on and using 
ImageMagick, and then ultimately failing during the final link of Xastir.

Of course, that shouldn't happen if we're doing an AC_CHECK_LIB, which will
attempt a link --- those should catch the missing "dipstick" issue by failing 
to link the conftest.  As long as that's what's happening, it's all good.  But 
I thought I heard that it was bombing badly.  Perhaps I misread things.
