Implemented better defaulting of zlib settings based on image properties. Implemented pass-through of png_write_rows when the rows can be used directly (a common case) optimizing the handling of previous-row buffering. Removed the METHODICAL filter selection method and disabled the HEURISTIC one; the first was ridiculously slow (though useful for experiments) the second doesn't work. Filter selection is temporarily disabled (it defaults to the lowest numbered filter in the list; typically 'none'). New handling of compression settings (incomplete), new PNG compression level (not yet visible in an API). Back ported 'PNG_FAST_FILTERS' from 1.6 (in png.h). There are minimal API changes beyond removal of the selection options. Work is still to be done to investigate a filter selection mechanism that is at least as good as the previous one.
