Added a note in libpng.txt that png_set_sig_bytes(8) can be used when
writing an embedded PNG without the 8-byte signature.
version 1.4.0beta1 [April 20, 2006]
Enabled iTXt support (changes png_struct, thus requires so-number change).
Cleaned up PNG_ASSEMBLER_CODE_SUPPORTED vs PNG_MMX_CODE_SUPPORTED
Eliminated PNG_1_0_X and PNG_1_2_X macros.
Removed deprecated functions png_read_init, png_write_init, png_info_init,
png_permit_empty_plte, png_set_gray_1_2_4_to_8, and removed the
deprecated macro PNG_MAX_UINT.

Updated scripts/pngw32.def to comment out MMX functions.

Updated scripts/pngw32.def to comment out MMX functions.
Added PNG_NO_GET_INT_32 and PNG_NO_SAVE_INT_32 macros.
Scripts/libpng.pc.in contained "configure" style version info and would
not work with makefiles.
Revised pngconf.h and added pngconf.h.in so makefiles and configure can
pass defines to libpng and applications.
version 1.4.0beta4 [May 11, 2006]
Revised configure.ac, Makefile.am, and many of the makefiles to write
their defines in pngconf.h.
