ANNOUNCE: MagiCapture 0.3.3

[Arthur Jerijian <lightmanaj earthlink net>]

See below for the README file.  The following changes have been made in this
release:

* Fixed a bug that caused MagiCapture to hang when capturing a screen
  failed. This normally happened when XImportImage couldn't grab the
  mouse.
 
* The dialog box displaying all the available file types should now
  look better.
 
* Fixed a bug that caused MagiCapture to hang occasionally when
  saving an image.
 
* Enhanced tests in configure.in to enforce the availability
  of the proper ImageMagick library version.
 
* MagiCapture will now prompt the user whether it is safe to overwrite
  an existing file during save.

Thanks,
--Arthur

MagiCapture is a screen capture and preview utility for the X Window System.
A user may capture a single window, a single window with decorations, a
rectangular region of the display, or the entire display itself. The user
may save the captured image into a graphics file supported by the
ImageMagick toolkit, which supports most (if not all) popular graphics
formats. MagiCapture uses the GLIB and GTK+ libraries for the user
interface and the ImageMagick and GdkMagick libraries for all graphics
processing.

The latest version of MagiCapture is available at the MagiCapture home page,
located at the following Web site:

NOTE: This is an ALPHA TEST release of MagiCapture. I do not expect
this software to function properly in all cases, as it is still under
development and many features are not yet implemented. I take no
responsibility for any damages resulting from the use of this software.

This ALPHA TEST release of MagiCapture is protected under the GNU General
Public License (GPL). In the future, I may provide an option to cover
MagiCapture under a less restrictive license, similar to the license
agreements for ImageMagick and the X Window System.

This version of MagiCapture was tested using the following configurations:

The following components are required to build and run MagiCapture:

* GNU sed, GNU make, and GNU CC. These packages are highly recommended
  for proper configuration and building of MagiCapture. You may use
