Won't compile with graphicsmagick #138

I'm on Gentoo Linux.

In the past pqiv was my prefered image viewer. But when I switched from imagemagick to graphicsmagick, pqiv won't work anymore.

Software like darktable utilizes graphicsmagick.

Please give us a choice to use imagemagick OR graphicsmagick with pqiv.

ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick are not API compatible. I looked into support once and found that for GraphicsMagick I'd basically have to fork the ImageMagick backend and create a separate one for GM. I've got a prototype around somewhere, I'll look into what's required to get it working & include it.

Hey :santa: I just pushed a branch gmwand which contains experimental support for GraphicsMagick. I only tested basic images and PDFs, that looks good so far.
