  This is indeed a pain. We moved away from Magick-config now that
ImageMagick is pkg-config ready. Maybe we can still provide
Magick-config, but not in a standard place (such as
/usr/lib/ImageMagick or something), so that only very minor
modifications to RMagick would be necessary ? I'm unsure we want to
put it back.

  This still needs some thinking.

  Cheers,
