Summary:                    FindImageMagick.cmake needs update for ImageMagick
>= 6.8.0-8, perhaps use pkgconfig
Description: 
	From ImageMagick's 6.8.0-8 changelog:

  ABI is incompatible if quantum depth change. Add abi indication to library
  name, thanks to Bastien Roucaries (reference
  http://www.imagemagick.org/discourse-server/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=22352 [^]).

The library names now include a new suffix, either -6.Q8 or -6.Q16 (maybe others
too?), depending on the quantum depth ImageMagick was compiled with.

For example on Fedora Linux we have the following library name changes:

/usr/lib/libMagick++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libMagick++-6.Q16.so.1
/usr/lib/libMagickCore.so.5 => /usr/lib/libMagickCore-6.Q16.so.1
/usr/lib/libMagickWand.so.5 => /usr/lib/libMagickWand-6.Q16.so.1


I think FindImageMagick really should be using pkgconfig instead of hacks to
search for possible names.
