48If you change anything in the source files, or select different compiler
49settings, please change the DLL name to something different than any of
50the above names. Also, make sure that in your "pngusr.h" you define
51PNG_USER_PRIVATEBUILD and PNG_USER_DLLFNAME_POSTFIX according to the
52instructions provided in "pngconf.h".

55MSVCR71.DLL (MSVCR71D.DLL for debug versions). If you distribute any of the
56above mentioned libraries you may have to include this DLL in your package.
