Also fixed the pngminim makefiles to work when $(MAKEFLAGS) contains stuff which terminates the make options (as by default in recent versions of Gentoo). Avoid up-cast warnings in pngvalid.c. On ARM the alignment requirements of png_modifier are greater than that of png_store and as a consequence compilation of pngvalid.c results in a warning about increased alignment requirements because of the bare cast to (png_modifier*). The code is safe, because the pointer is known to point to a stack allocated png_modifier, but this change avoids the warning. Fixed default behavior of ARM_NEON_API. If the ARM NEON API option was compiled without the CHECK option it defaulted to on, not off. Check user callback behavior in pngunknown.c. Previous versions compiled if SAVE_UNKNOWN was not available but did nothing since the callback was never implemented. Merged pngunknown.c with 1.7 version and back ported 1.7 improvements/fixes Version 1.6.7beta02 [October 12, 2013] Made changes for compatibility with automake 1.14: 1) Added the 'compile' program to the list of programs that must be cleaned in autogen.sh 2) Added 'subdir-objects' which causes .c files in sub-directories to be compiled such that the corresponding .o files are also in the sub-directory. This is because automake 1.14 warns that the current behavior of compiling to the top level directory may be removed in the future. 3) Updated dependencies on pnglibconf.h to match the new .o locations and added all the files in contrib/libtests and contrib/tools that depend on pnglibconf.h 4) Added 'BUILD_SOURCES = pnglibconf.h'; this is the automake recommended way of handling the dependencies of sources that are machine generated; unfortunately it only works if the user does 'make all' or 'make check', so the dependencies (3) are still required. Cleaned up (char*) casts of zlib messages. The latest version of the Intel C compiler complains about casting a string literal as (char*), so copied the treatment of z_const from the library code into pngfix.c Simplified error message code in pngunknown. The simplification has the useful side effect of avoiding a bogus warning generated by the latest version of the Intel C compiler (it objects to condition ? string-literal : string-literal). Make autogen.sh work with automake 1.13 as well as 1.14. Do this by always removing the 1.14 'compile' script but never checking for it.
