Yeah, but it's still hard to extend TYPO3 for making it work with this
extension. Is it worth it?

Bat option! If you can load an extension to PHP then you have superuser
rights, and in that case it would (I think so) be much easier to install
GraphicsMagick instead. They don't have these problems, and we could
probably provide a statically linked binary for the users...

Has nothing to do with that. If you're root, then you won't have problems
with safemode anyways...
