I found that it thought png was not there.
I added the include dir for libpng to CPPFLAGS and that gets around
the problem. However, it gave a warning that there was no libart
and near the end of the build this is a fatal error, because
render_libart.c fails to compile. Don't you think this means
that a missing libart should be treated as fatal by configure?
