> The TesseractOCRParser class uses the configured ImageMagickPath in method hasImageMagick to determine whether ImageMagick is present.  Ref:
> String ImageMagick = config.getImageMagickPath() + getImageMagickProg();
> BUT then completely ignores the configured path in the processImage method meaning ImageMagick has to be present on system path (so what's the point of the ImageMagickPath config setting).
> The doOCR method on the other hand DOES use the configured tesseractPath.
> Incidentally I notice there is no equivalent PythonPath config setting even though Python is attempted to be found/used.
> Some consistency would be appreciated so that ImageMagick and Python don't have to be present on the system path.  i.e. follow the model already in place for finding/using Tesseract.
