Composite was added to IM early in the version 6 development, but not
that early.   Update to a later version, or use the "composite" command
instead (yuck).

Also as a FYI to IM users...

The next release of IM (after v6.3.4-10) also has the three image
composite masking working properly for ALL alpha compositions, and not
just the default 'over' with no-transparent images.

In other words it is finally working properly and will properly blend
the result of the compose, with the original destination image according
to a greyscale mask, for all compose methods.

Thanks Cristy.  I can't wait to see how it was done in the code.
