I'm fine with using the new version. The question remains: How do we 
accomplish this?

(Probably) libpng is linked against zlib.dll, so with the current setup we 
have to use the Z library with this name. A work-around, that I don't like 
however, is to rename the dll. Recompiling every and all libraries I 
neither like, though, as it is not as easy like on Unix.
