Well. Thanks. But this doesnt work for me, unfortunately.

Maybe Building from source would be the best... But i cannot compile
libpng on MinGW, and on Cygwin, it cannot find the png.h/jpeg.h-files
and if i show them it cannot link against.

Why isnt there any MinGw32-Specific installer, or why doesnt the
Install-Script work on Cygwin?
