I'm not very familiar with PNG.  It seems like a good format to use but I
notice Allegro doesn't have built-in support but rather one must get the
loadpng/libpng/zlib libraries and build them as options.  Are there
licensing or technical reasons why PNG isn't built-in with Allegro?


It would add more dependencies.
I think we're about pulling all bitmap format stuff out of allegro core.
