According to http://www.gtk.org/download-windows.html, they currently
provide 1.4.3. But I fail to see how this resolves the problem at
hand, given the binary incompatibilities between 1.2.x and 1.4.x. Are
you suggesting that we tell all Windows users to get libpng only from
the GTK site? What about all those who already have 1.2.x installed
and will not even look into README.W32 when they install a newer
binary?
