 Hi,
 
 I imported the package from the PR (with OK from Emiliano) to wip and
 made it user-destdir compliant.
 
 The 1.4 release from sourceforge includes an updated recursive autoconf
 mess which spews syntax errors if invoked in a pkgsrc environment. I'm
 currently not up to the task of reading autogenerated configure files,
 so I didn't get very far with packaging that.
 
 At least it works that way, even if it's not included in pksrc for the
 moment.
 
 This is a third party release, but contrary to the official ones, this
 version does not need it's own in-tree copies of libpng, libtiff and
 libjpeg which can only be beneficial from a security standpoint.
 
 
 Best regards,
 
 Moritz
