<!-- Editors: It is highly unlikely that the buildsize (disk space used) will
be less than the figure shown above. Unless you have installed *all* the
delegate dependencies, you will see a smaller buildsize, but what is
currently listed above is the space one would require if all the
dependencies are installed, which is what we want.
Also, please look over the output from the configure command for any
additional dependencies that need to be listed, as ImageMagick is
constantly adding additional features and dependencies. -->
