The library is part of the POV-Ray soure code distribution because it is
needed by POV-Ray. If you don't want PNG support, remove the PNG_POV.C and
.H files from the make and source and then eliminate all remaining errors
(references to png functions) that come up.  This should not be too much,
the image support code is very well isolated.
