Thank you for the encouragement.  That's the plan, but it's a tough
call because tracking these libraries is a nightmare.  Actually not
really so with zlib, libpng and even libjpeg (my next effort), but
once you move a little higher up to the applications, it's quite a
problem.

Anybody who wants to contribute, here are the most difficult issues:
replacing stdio with Bio and error handling (setjump.longjump, is
it?).  I don't mind coding this, but I need some code inspection once
I'm done.  You'll see in npng that I've defined empty functions for
error handling and I use sysfatal()-style handling for errors that
oughtn't to bring the program to a standstill.

In addition, advice on the "t", "v" and "3" options would not go
amiss.  I think I have "k" right, but I use "v" where I think "t"
ought to be and "v" and "3" need just the type of hint that Russ is so
good at.

Lastly, can someone tell me for definite that "e" isn't required?
