Hi,

I just noticed that ImageMagick now requires X11. Is this necessary? I 
don't remember it being required in the past.

ImageMagick has as a dependency libwmf. libwmf includes 
../../graphics/xpm/buildlink3.mk. xpm wasn't built or installed on my 2.0 
system when I installed ImageMagick, but on a 1.6.2 system, it gave 
security issues for xpm when it started trying to compile it.

I've removed the ../../graphics/xpm/buildlink3.mk includes in libwmf, and 
it's built just fine. Since there are so many security problems with xpm, 
should I just commit the changes to libwmf?
