It seems unlikely that Debian can afford to displace the existing 8-bit

shared libraries and headers path.
Is it a lot of work to implement this? I can volunteer some help, if the
Debian maintainer would go along and generate two binary packages. I think
most (all?) binary-based Linux distributions only include 8-bit
GraphicsMagick, and it's a pity: the difference in quality is quite large.
This is no no longer a problem. I don't know when this was implemented
but reading the GraphicsMagick manual I came across this option in
configure:
--with-modules Image coders and process modules are built as loadable
modules which are installed under the directory
This does not solve the problem. The easiest way to solve the problem
is to use different library names for the Q16 build of GraphicsMagick.
The modules are not a problem since they are already in a specific
directory.
