I'm assuming that the ImageMagic fix is small and that we should have a 
new set of packages in a few days, but Dago didn't say when he was going 
to be back.

I'm not even so worried about the web pages on this occasion.   It just 
seems to me that some scripts need to be fixed so that web updates are 
atomic and only happen if batching is successful.

For this release of graphviz, I suggest just waiting a few days, and re 
batch.

Thanks
