Or better yet, to the same thing that the commit did:

AC_SEARCH_LIBS([WriteImage],[Magick MagickCore], 

which looks for WriteImage first in the libraries that are already in LIBS 
(which should already have the right thing).  Only if that fails it will 
check in libMagick and libMagickCore for the WriteImage routine.

configure is already running Magick-config --libs to get the -L and -l 
parameters needed to link in ImageMagick, and the probe should only do
something if Magick-config is lying (which it may well be, given the output
of Magick-config --cppflags).
