inserting information from Felicia and the source code about Image::Magick

<!--  This file is meant to catalog critical system
      functionality necessary for the operation of
      a LON-CAPA server.  Note that these capabilities
      describe operating system capabilities (not
      educational feature capabilities).

      The idea is that this file becomes a central point
      for the verification of existing operating system
      capabilities.
-->

<!-- This file does NOT represent an exhaustive list
     of software packages.  Nor can this file perfectly
     automate the handling of software packages on
     a RedHat linux system.  Due to differing
     configuration settings, the shaky nature of software
     dependencies, and machine states across the LON-CAPA
     network, there has not yet been a perfect automation
     of LON-CAPA server system duplication.

     Someday, maybe our grandkids will release LON-CAPA on
     pre-installed indestructible palm-pilot-sized units
     and then there will be no installation problems.
     (I have to say something melodramatic, I am watching
      Star Trek right now.)
