[avail for test] libpng-1.0.8-2

["Charles S. Wilson" <cwilson at ece dot gatech dot edu>]

libpng-1.0.8-2 is ready for testing at 
  http://cygutils.netpedia.net/testing/libpng-1.0.8-2.tar.gz        
http://cygutils.netpedia.net/testing/libpng-1.0.8-2-src.tar.gz

(not using sourceware for test releases -- it's hard for folks to get
them from the private directories since they're not mirrored).

Changes from 1.0.8-1:

o updates from 1.0.9pre3 (I've tested these, but they only apply to the
asm acceleration code -- which isn't included in the binary package. 
So, I didn't bump the version number)

o follows new naming scheme for dlls:
   /usr/lib/libpng.dll.a (import lib)
   /usr/lib/libpng.a     (static lib)
   /usr/bin/cygpng2.dll  (dll **)

o requires zlib-1.1.4-5

(**) png-developers specify that 1.x.y packages have an interface
version number of 2. The 2.x.y packages are forthcoming, and will be
have a version number of 3.

Installation:

Download libpng-1.0.8-2.tar.gz and either:
  put it in an empty directory with setup.exe
  run setup (install from local directory)
or
  unpack from '/':  cd / && tar xvzf libpng-1.0.8-2.tar.gz

You MUST also install zlib-1.1.4-5 or better.

Comments eagerly solicited,

Chuck Wilson

P.S. Please reply to this message with comments specific to the libpng
package.  If you wish to discuss the library naming scheme, please don't
respond to this message.  I'll post another thread to kick off *that*
discussion.
