Makes sense to me.

I've now changed it so that you get

./configure --with-imagemagick
[...]
checking for Wand >= 6.3.5 Wand != 6.8.2... no
configure: error: ImageMagick wanted, but it does not compile.  Maybe some library files are missing?

if you don't have the ImageMagick libraries.  If you don't say
--with-imagemagick, you should be unaffected.
