Nice. May I ask what was the motivation for it? I guess it was like with
jpgalleg, just because it's cool to write a decoder of a format
yourself :)
So, well, this increases the number of choices in case we include
configurable support for multiple image formats in 4.3, there's now a
choice of libpng (over loadpng) and libjpg (would need a loadpng like
wrapper), or instead using jpgalleg, and your new alpng.
