I believe, first hunk still can be committed.

ImageMagick is disaster per se.
Ideally `call-process' or `process-file' should be here instead of
`shell-command' making `shell-quote-argument' unnecessary. Sorry, it is
not clear for me if remote files (e.g. /ssh:...) are supported here.
Unfortunately options as a string, not as a list, means compatibility
issue. `split-string-and-unquote' may cause new bugs.
I have not evaluated it yet, but from discussions on this list I have an
impression that some LaTeX packages need to run external commands. I am
unsure to which degree it is safe or it may be easily exploited.
