Hi Tobias, Thanks for working on this and the NMU.

Do you mean that you think this should be automatically detected, or do you (also) mean something else? From past communication with upstream I learned that the libpng and zlib libraries are loaded dynamically (dlopen, dlsym). You can even run view3dscene without libpng/zlib installed, except you will not be able to load gzip-compressed X3D files or read PNG textures. In usual cases these 2 features are quite important, so we want to always depend on libpng and zlib. @Michalis, does view3dscene work with libpng16, or do you first need to port view3dscene to that API? If so, we better just drop the dependency for now. Paul
