New description:

 libpng doesn't ranlib libpng.a.
 So you can (randomly) get the following error:
 {{{
 ld: table of contents for archive: /opt/local/lib/libpng.a is out of date;
 rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
 }}}

 Actually, it copies libpng.a during the installation phase without
 preserving
 the modification date.

 To get it everytime, do a port build, wait a minute or two and do a port
 install. Then try to link against libpng.a.

 The patch below provides a simple fix.
