I'm fine with not supporting old versions, but AFAIK we have no idea if
an ImageMagick with MagickWand.h also satisfies all the other
assumptions Emacs has made about the API. So, again, I think it is
better if configure tests for the minimum version of ImageMagick that is
known to work.

As a data point, 6.2.8, which is over 4 years old, seems fine.
