<!-- 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.

     Marked as 'typical' because nobody builds ALL the optional extras [ken]
     Saved the "full" 450MB as a comment - feel free to update this iff you
     do build all dependencies, it's probably a lot bigger now.

     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. -->

      The optional dependencies listed below should be installed if you
      need support for the specific format or the conversion tool the dependency
      provides. Many of the dependencies' capabilities and uses are described in
      the <quote>MAGICK DELEGATES</quote> section of the
      <filename>README.txt</filename> file located in the source tree. Additional
      information about the dependencies can be found in the
      <filename>Install-unix.txt</filename> file located in the source tree as
      well as issuing the <command>./configure --help</command> command. A
      summary of this information, as well as some additional notes can be viewed
