Wait a second... if it can read PNG, then it should already be linking 
to libpng.

I seriously doubt that anyone who has read the PNG spec would be INSANE 
enough to manually implement PNG reading (hard to implement full spec) 
but not also implement PNG writing (easy because you only need to 
implement a subset of the spec that matches the image you are writing)

Does that make sense?
If it can read PNG it should be able to write PNG.
