In theory, though all the multi-purpose image libraries I've looked at
have been pretty crappy, so my tendency is to be skeptical (dunno about
libmagicwand in particular, tho imagemagick generally seems to tend in
the "giant bloated mess" direction).

If there's something out there which really is smallish, very portable,
and very flexible, it might be a good thing to look into.

I'm not sure how much of Emacs image code could be gotten rid of though
-- much of the image code in emacs is actually for supporting
emacs-specific features, not the basic loading/saving.
