    Add note on libpng for Visual Studio Builds
    
    Tell people that the Visual Studio project files will normally link to
    the latest stable release series of libpng that is supported by the
    codebase, and people can still use libpng 1.0.x-1.6.x if they choose
    to do so by changing some settings during the build.
