As long as the libpng-config can be overriden by environment / configure argument and the name of the variable is documented, that's fine. Joerg

In that people don't like the changes hiding data structures, or that it will take time before developers get their software sorted out to handle it? Is there a good reason not to use whatever libpng-config is linked to? I like the idea of not having to touch configure.in every time there's a new minor version, especially given how long we go between releases.
