I'm not sure anymore if using the png format (and pnglib) has been the 
right decision. I wanted to support more formats but I haven't found a 
GPL-ed cross platform library. I could have used some simple image 
format (like window bmp, or targa) and eliminate any dependency. The 
advantages of png are that it is compressed and that it supports 
multiple bit depths, alpha channels, grayscale. It is also more common 
than bitmap or targa, especially among open source users.

For the moment I have added an option on building the image opcodes,
defaults to build, and then to check that png.h exists.  Really we
should be using CheckLibWithHeader('png', 'png.h') but so far I have
failed to get that to work (memo to self: must learn some python --
what is difference between ' and "?)

when one functions as a quote string it can then encapsulate the other as a
charachter, but u can go either way

x = "so 'this' works"
y = 'and "this" does too'

print x
print y

is that what you were asking?
