For loading images in format other than simple XPM, you will need an image
-library. You can choose between two supported libraries, ImageMagick or Imlib2,
-from which the first one is the default. You can specify which library to use
-(if any) in the first few lines of the Makefile. Here is an overview of the
-advantages and drawbacks of each solution:

No library
- you can only load XPM files
- XPMs don't support partial transparency / alpha channels
-ImageMagick
+ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick
+ you can load many different image types including animations
Imlib2
+ you can load many different image types
- CRASHES WHEN USED TOGETHER WITH THE GRAPHTFT-PLUGIN!
-Using both libraries at the same time doesn't make sense anyway.
+Using more than one of the above at the same time doesn't make sense, just
+choose one or none.
-HINT: Although the manual of ImageMagick claims that the used library Magick++
-is part of the source distribution, some binary distributions may have to
-install Magick++ separately.

The Makefile uses pkg-config by default to find out the necessary compiler,
preprocessor and linker flags and libraries for the above, so you'll need it
