[RULE] About the screenshot tool

[Jason Bechtel]

I used to do screen shots with

   xwd | convert ...

which only required ImageMagick.  Where does
netpbm come into play?

Now, if ImageMagick requires gtkhtml, and that
requires a bunch of gtk stuff, that doesn't
convince me that it's worse than pulling in Perl
unnecessarily.  Gtk is probably already required
for certain other apps.  I'd be interested to see
exactly what the entire recursive list of
dependencies comes to for ImageMagick.

netpbm-progs requires perl. And since netpbm
handles graphics manipulation....
I don't know of an easy work around.

Imagemagic can handle the screenshots, but also
has a fairly hefty 
dependency load.

One of it's dependencies pulls in gtkhtml, which
has a _ton_ of 
dependencies itself.
