Yeah, pretty much every distro uses this patch. The problem is, without
imagick the examples won't work:

libvirt-php.git/tests $ php -n -c php.ini -S localhost:8080
../examples/index.php

BUT, here's what I can do. I just found out that QEMU added support for
taking screenshots in PNG format, so I can fix libvirt to prefer that
(PPM is not very well supported anyway - I haven't found a browser that
would render it) and drop imagick completely. Then I can do the release
and distros can then just drop the patch.
