[TYPO3] Typo3 and ImageMagick

[Loek Hilgersom]

I kept on having some issues with IM v6.2.4 on my dev-server. After reading this 
post I decided to install GM (1.1.7) and indeed, all problems solved at once!

In the few tests I ran just I found that the performance improved by about 40% 
compared to IM! So, yes, it's GraphicsMagick go-go-go! Finally ditched IM, 
hurray. :-)
