Thanks Chuck.  That is what I needed to hear.  You also have to pass 
``LIBS="-lcygipc"'' to configure since it detects that Xext is exporting 
SHM functions and it thus enables some SHM stuff in the Magick library 
and a couple executables.

I will check if a relibtoolizing is needed (mostly be checking if it 
fails without it).
