png.h not actually used?

[xylar]

I spent quite a bit of time trying to understand why libpng was not actually being linked into SQuadGen. I finally concluded that all the PNG functionality is provided by lodepng and the include here is not actually needed:
https://github.com/ClimateGlobalChange/squadgen/blob/master/src/SQuadGen.cpp#L17

@paullric, can you confirm if that's the case? Is there an easy way to use an existing PNG library or is it best to just rely on lodepng?

Yes, I think the software no longer relies on libpng. That should be removed from the list of requirements.
