# sfpng, a straightforward minimal PNG decoder
See manual.asciidoc for the what and the why.
I wrote this half a year ago with the aim of replacing libpng in
Chrome, but eventually realized that:
1. in the limit Chrome also be able to *encode* PNGs, something I
wasn't especially interested in working on at the time,
2. on Linux, due to using GTK, we'd end up with both sfpng and
libpng linked into the final binary, *growing* the resulting
program rather than shrinking it.
Perhaps it'd still make sense. Maybe I'll get inspired in the future
and finish it. In any case I haven't touched the code in quite a
while so I may as well publish it rather than having it on my laptop.
