Starting with libpng-1.6.0, you can configure libpng (when using the

string beginning with a letter and containing only uppercase

||||
and lowercase letters, digits, and the underscore (i.e., a C language

identifier). This creates a set of macros in pnglibconf.h, so this is

transparent to applications; their function calls get transformed by

the macros to use the modified names.
