FWIW, quite a few of the packages in Bill's FTBFS list have dependencies
on libpng-compat, which makes me suspicious that the libpng API changes
might be the reason (or one reason) why they FTBFS.  I've spent this
afternoon preparing patches for the remaining old-libpng dependencies
that are *not* on that list.  I'm willing to help out with libpng issues
in these too, assuming that their maintainers care about keeping them
alive.

I'm still hoping to kill libpng-compat (and libtiff-compat) before we
branch F18.
