Blast!  I emerged media-libs/libpng-1.4.3 only 2 days ago and ... I followed 
what the elog told me which was to run the very scrip that Flameeyes says it 
causes long term problems!  O_O

This is what I have in terms of libpng* (on an amd64 system):

# ls -la /usr/lib/libpng*

Is this OK?  What now?
