The point that Warp didn't get around to was that we spent hours trying
to figure out what's wrong with POV's 16-bpp PNG output, only to discover
that it's a problem with Photoshop's "stupid retarded" 16-bpp PNG import
that swaps the byte order.  Worse, it's a problem that's been around for
more than one major version now.  This is a problem that is not likely
to go away until Adobe gets off their fat lazy asses and fixes their
"industry standard" program instead of playing with their buddies at the
Justice Department.
