This is due to my interpretation of the Sun spec -- or lack thereof.
The ImageConsumer spec, with regard to how to handle ImageConsumers, for
all cases, is grossly under specified. Some testing with how the
Motif AWT handles things should probably be in order (especially
w.r.t. multiple threads requesting loading of the same image at
different stages in production.)

I'd like to stay away from Java 1.2 code for the AWT, since it's
intended to work under Sun's JDK 1.1. Yes, we could ship extra
classes, but I'd prefer not too.

I'm more worried about maintenance/bug fixes, as opposed to speed.
libpng is still being updated with bug fixes. I should probably try
to get in contact with the Nokleberg.
