I agree, but I don't want to force users who build their own Emacs to
upgrade to a newer libpng just to have PNG support in Emacs.  So I
installed (on the emacs-23 branch) a set of changes that expose to
Lisp the version of libpng against which Emacs was compiled, and then
w32-win.el sets up the PNG part of image-library-alist
(dynamic-library-alist in Emacs 24) as appropriate for what was used
during compilation.

While at that, I also fixed image.c to avoid a compiler warning due to
direct access to png_ptr->jmpbuf.
