Title: Change openslide and imagemagick links so that they work at present

As they are, the locations of the tarballs for openslide and imagemagick are incorrect; openslide because the location is now https://github.com/openslide/openslide/releases/download/v3.3.3/openslide-3.3.3.tar.gz and imagemagick because ImageMagick-6.8.7-0 has been superseded by ImageMagick-6.8.7-10 (and -0 has been removed from that server). The ImageMagick thing is quite annoying, as every single time they upload a new version they remove the old one.

As a side note, it's also possible to build libvips-win32 with the latest openslide pretty easily -- the "corresponding sources" found at http://openslide.cs.cmu.edu/download/snapshots/windows/ each include a tar/openslide-3.3.3.tar.xz file (that is not, amusingly enough, openslide-3.3.3 at all; it's the latest openslide git master at the time of build) that can be used verbatim (well, by converting it into a .tar.gz). Since handling of WSI formats like BIF has been greatly improved since 3.3.3, this is what I've been doing.
