    Comments:
      Attributes after the image are ignored.
      Define PNG_NO_CONSOLE_IO to avoid printfs.
      We define PNG_TIME_RFC1123_SUPPORTED.
      Add the following files to the makefile to optimize the library:
      pngvcrd.c  - PNG_USE_PNGVCRD
                   For Intel x86 CPU and Microsoft Visual C++ compiler
      pnggccrd.c - PNG_USE_PNGGCCRD
                   For Intel x86 CPU (Pentium-MMX or later) and GNU C compiler.
