My motivation is that every time I've tried to install the ImageMagick
CPAN modules, they don't match whatever version of ImageMagick I have on
the system. So there are two options:

1) Install ImageMagick C lib and perl modules from same tarball
2) use something else (Imager)

Imager is self contained (except for libpng, etc libs which I believe
ImageMagick uses too) and seems to have less dependency problems.

ImageMagick seems bigger. I'm just going by tar file sizes:

-rw-rw-r--    1 jeff     jeff         4.1M Feb  3 10:39 ImageMagick-5.5.4-4=
.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r--    1 jeff     jeff         511K Apr 12  2002 Imager-0.41.tar.gz

So the problem I'm trying to solve is to simplify the system during
installation and to make the code 'self hosting' minus the standard perl
and apache installation.
