This build is using GraphicsMagick built with quantum depth 8. This
limits the image reading to 8bit per pixel. It is a problem because
16 bit have been the norm in science for a long time, and even just
for photography they are getting increasingly common.
Since Octave is a scientific application, it makes sense to bump this
for this builds.
It is my understanding that it is enough to pass "with-quantum-depth-16"
to homebrew the installation of graphicsmagick.
I just reported a bug with homebrew to change this too [1].
