This may have been a slightly earlier version of
configure.ac/acinclude.m4.  The latest versions of each should do
the failover just fine.

Without a system to test on I can't be sure.

Looks like we use AC_CHECK_PROG() to find "GraphicsMagick-config".
In the following section we use AC_CHECK_HEADERS() and
AC_CHECK_LIB(), but only if "darwin" isn't defined.  The comments
state that we don't want to use these additional functions on OSX
'cuz the standard macros won't find them.  The GM section is VERY
similar to the IM section immediately preceeding it.
