I have a rewrite of imread as an oct-file binding to libmagick++ in
the works. AFAIK Imagemagick supports all of the formats of the
current imread implementation or more and I found that reading some
formats to octave is 2 orders of magnitude faster with imagemagick.

I plan to support the imread interface documented at the Mathworks
website as much as possible.
