There's a bug in the application's "configure" script that prevents
it from detecting the presence of installed png/jpeg libraries.

        ... configure output ...
        checking png.h usability... yes
        checking png.h presence... yes
        checking for png.h... yes
        checking for png_read_info in -lpng... no
        no libpng installed; building static version
        checking jpeglib.h usability... yes
        checking jpeglib.h presence... yes
        checking for jpeglib.h... yes
        checking for jpeg_start_decompress in -ljpeg... no
        no libjpeg installed; building static version
        ...

So this change is a no-op and only has documentation value at this
point of time.

This bug needs to be tracked down and fixed & fed upstream.

In the meantime, I'm working on the assumption that the PLT group
tracks critical fixes to the 3rd-party code that they are redistributing.

Koshy
