Fixed 'minimal' builds. Various obviously useful minimal configurations
don't build because of missing contrib/libtests test programs and overly
complex dependencies in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa. This change adds
contrib/conftest/*.dfa files that can be used in automatic build
scripts to ensure that these configurations continue to build.
Enabled WRITE_INVERT and WRITE_PACK in contrib/pngminim/encoder.
prefixing. This adds an API to set optimization options externally,
providing an alternative and general solution for the non-portable
run-time tests used by the ARM Neon code. It also makes those tests
compile and link on Android. The order of settings vs options in
pnglibconf.h is reversed to allow settings to depend on options and
options can now set (or override) the defaults for settings.
in pngpriv.h in case the user forgot to define them in their pngusr.h. This
means it is safe for people not building a DLL to omit these defines from pngusr.h.
Also added scripts/chkfmt to validate the format of all the files that can
reasonably be validated (it is suggested to run "make distclean" before
checking, because some machine generated files have long lines.)
Reformatted the CHANGES file to be more consistent throughout.
Fixed point APIs are now supported throughout (no missing APIs).
Internal fixed point arithmetic support exists for all internal floating
point operations.
sCAL validates the floating point strings it is passed.
Safe, albeit rudimentary, Watcom support is provided by PNG_API_RULE==2
Two new APIs exist to get the number of passes without turning on the
PNG_INTERLACE transform and to get the number of rows in the current
pass.
A new test program, pngvalid.c, validates the gamma code.
Errors in the 16 bit gamma correction (overflows) have been corrected.
cHRM chunk testing is done consistently (previously the floating point
API bypassed it, because the test really didn't work on FP, now the test
is performed on the actual values to be stored in the PNG file so it
works in the FP case too.)
Most floating point APIs now simply call the fixed point APIs after
converting the values to the fixed point form used in the PNG file.
The standard headers no longer include zlib.h, which is currently only
required for pngstruct.h and can therefore be internal.
