[Bug classpath/23786] New: Add ImageIO plugin which uses ImageMagick

[thebohemian at gmx dot net]

I developed the first steps of what could be an ImageIO reader plugin that uses
ImageMagick. The popular free software library which is IMHO heavily used by php
can decode ~90 image (and image-like) formats. See
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php (or run "identify -list format" on
your system)

See my mail on the discussion list for details:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2005-09/msg00078.html

(Consider the code in the attachment a regular Classpath contribution ...)

The JNI code already works. Enjoy screenshots where a SVG, a PDF and a XPM is
loaded:

It would be nice if someone could integrate this into Classpath as an ImageIO
plugin.
