Won't install with latest 7.x version of imagemagick #12

Using the current install instructions, installation will fail on OSX.

Can't install RMagick 2.16.0. Can't find MagickWand.h.
*** extconf.rb failed ***

brew install imagemagick will install imagemagick "stable 7.0.9-20".

Then the gem install tileup will fail at "checking for presence of MagickWand API (ImageMagick version >= 6.9.0)... no". This appears to be at least in part because the directory structure has changed in the new version.

Based on the thread linked above and this stackoverflow, I found that installing the 6 version and linking it will allow installation to complete successfully, until changes are made to support v7:

brew unlink imagemagick
brew install imagemagick@6 && brew link imagemagick@6 --force
