ImageMagick depends on a lot of external libraries.  I think that
integrating it into TL consumes too much time.

I hope that TeXLive-2006 will include sam2p.

  http://www.inf.bme.hu/~pts/sam2p

sam2p can convert plenty of bitmap formats to EPS or PDF.  It is
incredibly fast and produces extremely small files without loss of
quality.

It would be nice if you could provide some details.  Maybe it can be
fixed in TL-2006.

Regards,
  Reinhard
