+# Build libpng with basic read support.  This enables the lowest level libpng
+# read API - the one where the calling code has to use a loop to read each row.
+# At present this is the API used by most programs.
+#
+# Support is enabled only for those chunks and transformations that are
+# typically required - others can be added easily.

+# The sequential read code is enabled here; the progressive code can be used
+# instead but there is no point enabling both.

+# Likewise it is pointless enabling both fixed and floating point APIs.  Choose

+# To read the full set of PNG images correctly interlace, transparency and
+# 16-bit support is required.  The application can implement interlace itself,
+# but very few do and it's no longer possible to disable it when READ is
+# enabled.

+# Everything else is application dependent.  This file assumes the app handles
+# all the native PNG bit layouts, so it doesn't need any of layout change
+# transforms, but needs libpng to perform gamma correction.  It doesn't do any
+# colorspace stuff and ignores the 'significant bit' information.
+#
+# If your app always expands the image to a limited set of bit layouts you
+# probably want to consider using the simplified API instead of the low level
+# one - see png.h and s_read.dfa.
