11 It may not be immediately obvious from the description of the USE
12 flag, since graphicsmagick choose not to add a local use flag
13 description that better describes its use, but if you read the ebuild,
14 you'll find that rather than "enabling support for imagemagick", the
15 flag "imagemagick" in this case means "enable imagemagick
16 compatibility", which I assume means that it will install the usual
17 set of tools (convert, identify, etc.) that imagemagick installs.
18
19 Obviously this will cause a file collision if you also have
20 imagemagick installed.
