FYI, if you check out the trunk from SVN you should be able to
switch to the JIIO stuff by simply editing the file:
resources/META-INF/services/org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.spi.ImageWriter
So that 'org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.codec.png.PNGImageWriter' is
commented out and
'org.apache.batik.ext.awt.image.codec.imageio.ImageIOPNGImageWriter'
is uncommented and retest. I would test carefully as when this was
uncommented we had regressions in our tests, but it may be unimportant
differences.
