Anyway... the fix for pngfix.c is to change the spelling of "evaluated"
from "evaluted", at least since my last sync with luz.paz's codespell
changes.

One of the real problems here is that spelling checkers are reporting bugs
against *libpng/contrib *code rather than reporting them upstream to the
original author.  This causes a *fork*.  There is little sympathy upstream
for wanton forking.  This is part of the point of why things like
pngvalid.c ended up in contrib rather than in the main code base (i.e.
libpng/); I was making code changes to libpng/ based on errors detected by
a single, very large, one file (not my idea) program so dealing with
speeling erorrs in that program was unacceptable.

I suggest not fixing stuff in contrib; upstream it.  If you don't get a
response from upstream then forking is appropriate, with all the pain that
this brings.
