Done.

Hm... I just fixed one problem and it seems to build now.  Let me look at this
again when I have a little more time - maybe I can finally update it.

And:

ATM this won't build with libpng16.  The source was only patched last year for
libpng15, and not by the main author.  I can't remember now where the patches
came from - it wasn't me - but I'll see what I can find out.

If you want to look at the build, here are the cygport and patch files:

wget \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/sng.cygport \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/sng-ChangeLog.patch \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/sng-sngc.patch \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/sng-sngd.patch \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/sng-usage.patch

And the following files, taken from libpng15 I believe, have to be copied into
the root of the build tree:

wget \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/extras/pngdebug.h \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/extras/pnginfo.h \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/extras/pngpriv.h \
 http://home.comcast.net/~andrex2/cygwin/sng/extras/pngstruct.h

Don't ask me why, I don't remember and the patches were someone else's.  It
worked.

ATM the build is failing with:

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.
-I/home/andrex/dev/cygwin/sng/sng-1.0.6-2.x86_64/src/sng-1.0.6     -ggdb -O2

which seems like a trivial problem, but I haven't conquered it yet.
