The question is binary compatibility with which distribution? And
which version of it? The lastest version of SuSE links gdk-imlib1
(libimlib-png.so more specifically) against libpng.so.3. Is not as if
SuSE really cares about this sort of thing (as a matter of fact, they
tend to botch it). I don't have access to RH installation at the
moment.
I'm not arguing against this, I'm just wondering how much time we
should invest in something which doesn't seem to be _that_ well
defined.
