  There aren't problems with that, save for the fact that you simply
won't manage to build 0.9.1. I had started to port 0.9.1 to the newer
ImageMagick API, and that turned out to be a nightmare. I'm unsure I
have the changes left somewhere, but I had gotten to a 200-some lines
diff, and I'm not even sure it did build in the end.

  You're much better off starting from 0.9.6. As far as I can
remember, updating to 0.9.6 didn't actually require changes to the
source (save updating the build-deps to the newer imagemagick
development packages). That is what I would recommend you to do. There
probably aren't changes you would have to incorporate from my
packages, but if you wish to base your upon mine, please go ahead.

  BTW, I can't seem to find you in the Debian Database, so I assume
that you may need sponsoring. If such is the case, I could sponsor a
new version, if you wish.

  Cheers !
