1 Hello

3 This is an old issue, how to allow the usage of either imagemagick or
4 graphicsmagick[imagemagick]:

7 But most of the packages are not handling them at all, and some are
8 relying on || ( ) constructs... that then prevent us from relying on
9 subslots.

11 Since we *need* that subslots for this case, I think we should handle
12 this in the way we handle ffmpeg vs libav: having a "graphicsmagick"
13 USE flag to pull in graphicsmagick when needed.
14
15 Is that ok? What other alternative would allow us to use subslots? :/

17 Thanks a lot
