If we had the ability to cross-compile for slow target architectures, and proper build automation, recompiling everything that depends on libpng wouldn't need to be a problem.

Distributing the update to users might need some adjustments, too, in order to avoid massive bandwidth usage -- a good mechanism to send just binary deltas for the affected files would be more important than it is now.

It's a bit ironic that the software I *most* need cross-compilation for is the stuff most resistant to being cross-compiled…

(Bought more RAM than I thought I'd ever need. The compiler crashes because it runs out of i686 registers now. *sigh*)
