  And the problem is presumably caused by trying to use the Cygwin version of
libpng-devel, which will have references to functions supplied by the Cygwin
DLL, when linking against MinGW runtime libs, which don't supply the same set
of functions.

  The problem with "-lz" could probably be fixed by using the mingw-zlib
package, but David will need to find a proper MinGW build of libpng (or roll
his own).
