feature request: combine this and the graphicsmagick buildpacks

[jonathanong]

i noticed that the graphicsmagick buildpack is more up to date than this package. why not just combined these two buildpacks into a single buildpack that has both packages and other packages like libpng and zlib? the overhead wouldn't be much, and it'll be easier to maintain.

another option is just to have one be the fork of the other.

This is an awesome idea! Can you submit a pull-request against the graphcis-magick one? We can rebrand as 'heroku-magick-buildpack' and combine both of them.

If you want, I can give you commit access!

i tried using it, but it didn't even build (i forgot which package failed, i think libpng). i updated the package versions manually since i guess the server you download the source code from deletes all old versions (very annoying! but i can't find any other servers). since i don't know shell very well, do you mind just double checking your packages work and updating them? after that i'll try hacking this again. i'm on os x; i'm not sure what you're using.

The build are done directly on Heroku through Vulcan, so it is not bound to a platform.

I think I'll have some time next week: I'll work on the graphicsmagick package, as it is more up-to-date.
