   Use nanosleep() instead of usleep() in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c
     because usleep() is deprecated (port from libpng16).
   Fixed potential leak of png_pixels in contrib/pngminus/pnm2png.c
   Fixed uninitialized variable in contrib/gregbook/rpng2-x.c
+  Moved config.h.in~ from the "libpng_autotools_files" list to the
+    "libpng_autotools_extra" list in autogen.sh because it was causing a
+    false positive for missing files (bug report by Robert C. Seacord).
