netpbm has almost 300 in /usr/bin.
Ouch. (I guess I shouldn't have asked.)

Does netpbm do anything convert (ImageMagick) doesn't? I'd be happy to
get rid of netpbm.
netpbm-progs (the rpm containing all the 320 programs in /usr/bin) is
required for xmlto to function properly, which in turn is necessary
to build the git documentation.

This is on Fedora 9, btw.
On openSuse systems it is required by sax2-gui only. But just because
it is used by these 2 packages doesn't mean that ImageMagick's convert
can't be used instead. Someone would need to check what exactly xmlto
and sax2-gui use in netpbm and whether convert could be used instead.
I'd do if I only I had the time... :/
