Right now it unconditionally passes --with-modules… while it *might* make it slightly faster/easier on memory to use that rather than load all the modules at once, I would expect non-modules-based gm to be much faster in startup.

It also seems like graphicsmagick supports that much better than imagemagick, as it does not use libltdl in such a case at all.

Thanks,
Diego
