One aspect I missed in this discussion: I there a recipe around
depending on libpng12 which cannot use libpng 1.6?
This is yet another case I get the the feeling that the priorities
others have do not match mine: My topmost priority is to build working
images and maintain them to keep them in working condition. Adding and
maintaining recipes for sake of outdated standards is waste of time -
at least for me.
