ImageMagick released the new major version 7. Unfortunately they removed
the convert executable. One has to use the command "magick" instead of
"convert".
Attached is a patch that makes IM 7 work here but of course we need a
way that convertDefault.py detects if IM 6 or IM 7 is used on the
system. Unfortunately I don't know how to achieve this.
This should be done before 2.2.0 final because IM 6 won't be supported
any longer and security issues in the image libraries appear quite often.
