PNG bitmap support.

FreeType now handles loading color bitmap glyphs in the PNG format.
This requires help from the external libpng library.  Uncompressed
color bitmaps do not need any external libraries and will be
supported regardless of this configuration.

Define this macro if you want to enable this `feature'.

/* #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_PNG */



It's disabled by default (probably because it's too new) and linking
freetype to libpng without having this defined is useless. I suggest we
disable png by default using the configure switch. Not sure if we want
to mention the deps or how to enable the feature.
