[Magick-bugs] Why does libMagickCore depend on X11 ?

[Hans de Goede]

Hi,

Short intro (again): I'm a new co-maintainer of the Fedora package ImageMagick 
and as such walking through all open ImageMagick bugs in Fedora's bugzilla.

While discussing ImageMagick on the Fedora mailinglist I got the following 
question:

---
Just curious; will this new version allow us to do some basic
splitting so that packages like Mediawiki won't depend on X libraries?
Currently the console applications like convert are linked against X.
---

Iow, could it be possible to modify ImageMagick so that the console 
applications and the libs themselves do not depend on X libs?

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
