Yes, you are confused now :-) There is a copy of the libpng source code embedded in the doxygen source package. By default it builds a private copy of libpng and embeds it in the doxygen binaries. This seemed to me like needless duplication, so I made it link against the normal (separately packaged) libpng instead. Suitably clarified? Max.
