Libpng comes in several distribution formats. Get libpng-*.tar.gz,

libpng-*.tar.xz, or libpng-*.tar.bz2 if you want UNIX-style line
|

endings in the text files, or lpng*.7z or lpng*.zip if you want DOS-style

line endings. You can get UNIX-style line endings from the *.zip file

by using "unzip -a" but there seems to be no simple way to recover

UNIX-style line endings from the *.7z file. The *.tar.xz file is

recommended for *NIX users instead.
