libpng 1.5.0 has issues and is breaking builds (but it's not in macports)

[Russell Jones]

It can't be as like Ryan said, only 1.4.5 is in macports right now.

I have been having issues making png's from pdf's using ghostscript
which depends on libpng.
This is on a system that has been making png's from pdf's a hundred
times a day for over a year.

This happened after upgrading ghostscript to 9.00.

Reverting back to ghostscript 8.71_5 and we are working again.

I don't know that libpng 1.5.0 is part of my issue but it may be.
