  AFAIR, libpng detection was an issue (not only for us), and it
took  a  long  time to come with something that worked across all
the different platforms we were testing.

  If  somebody  is  willing  to  change the detection code and go
through   the   whole   testing   process   of  different  libpng
versions/scripts in old and new distros, so be it.

  I also recommend not doing this before the release.
