+VIII. Configuring libpng for 16-bit platforms
+
+You will want to look into zconf.h to tell zlib (and thus libpng) that
+it cannot allocate more then 64K at a time.  Even if you can, the memory
+won't be accessible.  So limit zlib and libpng to 64K by defining MAXSEG_64K.

+
+X. Configuring for Medium Model
+
+Libpng's support for medium model has been tested on most of the popular
+compilers.  Make sure MAXSEG_64K gets defined, USE_FAR_KEYWORD gets
+defined, and FAR gets defined to far in pngconf.h, and you should be
+all set.  Everything in the library (except for zlib's structure) is
+expecting far data.  You must use the typedefs with the p or pp on
+the end for pointers (or at least look at them and be careful).  Make
+note that the rows of data are defined as png_bytepp, which is
+an "unsigned char far * far *".
+
+XI. Omitted.
+
+XII. Configuring for compiler xxx:
+
+All includes for libpng are in pngconf.h.  If you need to add, change
+or delete an include, this is the place to do it.
+The includes that are not needed outside libpng are placed in pngpriv.h,
+which is only used by the routines inside libpng itself.
+The files in libpng proper only include pngpriv.h and png.h, which
+in turn includes pngconf.h and, as of libpng-1.5.0, pnglibconf.h.
+As of libpng-1.5.0, pngpriv.h also includes three other private header
+files, pngstruct.h, pnginfo.h, and pngdebug.h, which contain material
+that previously appeared in the public headers.
+
+XIII. Removing unwanted object code
+
+There are a bunch of #define's in pngconf.h that control what parts of
+libpng are compiled.  All the defines end in _SUPPORTED.  If you are
+never going to use a capability, you can change the #define to #undef
+before recompiling libpng and save yourself code and data space, or
+you can turn off individual capabilities with defines that begin with
+PNG_NO_.
+
+In libpng-1.5.0 and later, the #define's are in pnglibconf.h instead.
+
+You can also turn all of the transforms and ancillary chunk capabilities
+off en masse with compiler directives that define
+PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS, or PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS,
+or all four, along with directives to turn on any of the capabilities that
+you do want.  The PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS directives disable the
+extra transformations but still leave the library fully capable of reading
+and writing PNG files with all known public chunks. Use of the
+PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS directive produces a library
+that is incapable of reading or writing ancillary chunks.  If you are
+not using the progressive reading capability, you can turn that off
+with PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ (don't confuse this with the INTERLACING
+capability, which you'll still have).
+
+All the reading and writing specific code are in separate files, so the
+linker should only grab the files it needs.  However, if you want to
+make sure, or if you are building a stand alone library, all the
+reading files start with "pngr" and all the writing files start with "pngw".
+The files that don't match either (like png.c, pngtrans.c, etc.)
+are used for both reading and writing, and always need to be included.
+The progressive reader is in pngpread.c
+
+If you are creating or distributing a dynamically linked library (a .so
+or DLL file), you should not remove or disable any parts of the library,
+as this will cause applications linked with different versions of the
+library to fail if they call functions not available in your library.
+The size of the library itself should not be an issue, because only
+those sections that are actually used will be loaded into memory.
+
+XIV. Changes to the build and configuration of libpng in libpng-1.5.x
+
+Details of internal changes to the library code can be found in the CHANGES
+file and in the GIT repository logs.  These will be of no concern to the vast
+majority of library users or builders; however, the few who configure libpng
+to a non-default feature set may need to change how this is done.
+
+There should be no need for library builders to alter build scripts if
+these use the distributed build support - configure or the makefiles -
+however, users of the makefiles may care to update their build scripts
+to build pnglibconf.h where the corresponding makefile does not do so.
+
+Building libpng with a non-default configuration has changed completely.
+The old method using pngusr.h should still work correctly even though the
+way pngusr.h is used in the build has been changed; however, library
+builders will probably want to examine the changes to take advantage of
+new capabilities and to simplify their build system.
+
+A. Specific changes to library configuration capabilities
+
+The exact mechanism used to control attributes of API functions has
+changed.  A single set of operating system independent macro definitions
+is used and operating system specific directives are defined in
+pnglibconf.h
+
+As part of this the mechanism used to choose procedure call standards on
+those systems that allow a choice has been changed.  At present this only
+affects certain Microsoft (DOS, Windows) and IBM (OS/2) operating systems
+running on Intel processors.  As before, PNGAPI is defined where required
+to control the exported API functions; however, two new macros, PNGCBAPI
+and PNGCAPI, are used instead for callback functions (PNGCBAPI) and
+(PNGCAPI) for functions that must match a C library prototype (currently
+only png_longjmp_ptr, which must match the C longjmp function.)  The new
+approach is documented in pngconf.h
+
+Despite these changes, libpng 1.5.0 only supports the native C function
+calling standard on those platforms tested so far (__cdecl on Microsoft
+Windows).  This is because the support requirements for alternative
+calling conventions seem to no longer exist.  Developers who find it
+necessary to set PNG_API_RULE to 1 should advise the mailing list
+(png-mng-implement) of this and library builders who use Openwatcom and
+therefore set PNG_API_RULE to 2 should also contact the mailing list.
+
+B. Changes to the configuration mechanism
+
+Prior to libpng-1.5.0 library builders who needed to configure libpng
+had either to modify the exported pngconf.h header file to add system
+specific configuration or had to write feature selection macros into
+pngusr.h and cause this to be included into pngconf.h by defining
+PNG_USER_CONFIG. The latter mechanism had the disadvantage that an
+application built without PNG_USER_CONFIG defined would see the
+unmodified, default, libpng API and thus would probably fail to link.
+
+These mechanisms still work in the configure build and in any makefile
+build that builds pnglibconf.h, although the feature selection macros
+have changed somewhat as described above.  In 1.5.0, however, pngusr.h is
+processed only once, when the exported header file pnglibconf.h is built.
+pngconf.h no longer includes pngusr.h, therefore pngusr.h is ignored after the
+build of pnglibconf.h and it is never included in an application build.
+
+The rarely used alternative of adding a list of feature macros to the
+CPPFLAGS setting in the build also still works; however, the macros will be
+copied to pnglibconf.h and this may produce macro redefinition warnings
+when the individual C files are compiled.
+
+All configuration now only works if pnglibconf.h is built from
+scripts/pnglibconf.dfa.  This requires the program awk.  Brian Kernighan
+(the original author of awk) maintains C source code of that awk and this
+and all known later implementations (often called by subtly different
+names - nawk and gawk for example) are adequate to build pnglibconf.h.
+The Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) program 'awk' is an earlier version
+and does not work; this may also apply to other systems that have a
+functioning awk called 'nawk'.
+
+Configuration options are now documented in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa.  This
+file also includes dependency information that ensures a configuration is
+consistent; that is, if a feature is switched off dependent features are
+also removed.  As a recommended alternative to using feature macros in
+pngusr.h a system builder may also define equivalent options in pngusr.dfa
+(or, indeed, any file) and add that to the configuration by setting
+DFA_XTRA to the file name.  The makefiles in contrib/pngminim illustrate
+how to do this, and a case where pngusr.h is still required.
+
+XV. Configuring libpng for multiprocessing
+
+Libpng uses setjmp()/longjmp() for error handling.  Unfortunately setjmp()
+is known to be not thread-safe on some platforms and we don't know of
+any platform where it is guaranteed to be thread-safe.  Therefore, if
+your application is going to be using multiple threads, you should
+configure libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP in your pngusr.dfa file, with
+-DPNG_NO_SETJMP on your compile line, or with
+
+  #undef PNG_SETJMP_SUPPORTED
+
+in your pnglibconf.h or pngusr.h.

+XVI. Other sources of information about libpng:

 Further information can be found in the README and libpng-manual.txt
 files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, and the manual pages
 libpng.3 and png.5.

-You can also turn all of the transforms and ancillary chunk capabilities
-off en masse with compiler directives that define
-PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS, or PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS,
-or all four,
-along with directives to turn on any of the capabilities that you do
-want.  The PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS directives disable the extra
-transformations but still leave the library fully capable of reading
-and writing PNG files with all known public chunks. Use of the
-PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS directive produces a library
-that is incapable of reading or writing ancillary chunks.  If you are
-not using the progressive reading capability, you can turn that off
-with PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ (don't confuse this with the INTERLACING
-capability, which you'll still have).
-
-All the reading and writing specific code are in separate files, so the
-linker should only grab the files it needs.  However, if you want to
-make sure, or if you are building a stand alone library, all the
-reading files start with "pngr" and all the writing files start with "pngw".
-The files that don't match either (like png.c, pngtrans.c, etc.)

-B.2 Changes to the configuration mechanism
-
-Prior to libpng-1.5.0 library builders who needed to configure libpng
-had either to modify the exported pngconf.h header file to add system
-specific configuration or had to write feature selection macros into
-pngusr.h and cause this to be included into pngconf.h by defining
-PNG_USER_CONFIG. The latter mechanism had the disadvantage that an
-application built without PNG_USER_CONFIG defined would see the
-unmodified, default, libpng API and thus would probably fail to link.
-
-These mechanisms still work in the configure build and in any makefile
-build that builds pnglibconf.h, although the feature selection macros
-have changed somewhat as described above.  In 1.5.0, however, pngusr.h is
-processed only once, when the exported header file pnglibconf.h is built.
-pngconf.h no longer includes pngusr.h, therefore pngusr.h is ignored after the
-build of pnglibconf.h and it is never included in an application build.
-
-The rarely used alternative of adding a list of feature macros to the
-CPPFLAGS setting in the build also still works; however, the macros will be
-copied to pnglibconf.h and this may produce macro redefinition warnings
-when the individual C files are compiled.
-
-All configuration now only works if pnglibconf.h is built from
-scripts/pnglibconf.dfa.  This requires the program awk.  Brian Kernighan
-(the original author of awk) maintains C source code of that awk and this
-and all known later implementations (often called by subtly different
-names - nawk and gawk for example) are adequate to build pnglibconf.h.
-The Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) program 'awk' is an earlier version
-and does not work; this may also apply to other systems that have a
-functioning awk called 'nawk'.
-
-Configuration options are now documented in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa.  This
-file also includes dependency information that ensures a configuration is
-consistent; that is, if a feature is switched off dependent features are
-also removed.  As a recommended alternative to using feature macros in
-pngusr.h a system builder may also define equivalent options in pngusr.dfa
-(or, indeed, any file) and add that to the configuration by setting
-DFA_XTRA to the file name.  The makefiles in contrib/pngminim illustrate
-how to do this, and a case where pngusr.h is still required.
