This is still ridiculous.  Get this PNG support going.  Of course,
this also explains why previews got slower when color support got
added: I/O time.  ppm files take up three times more space than pgm,
and when you leave off antialiasing, you get pbm, at another factor
of 8 in file size.  I/O time for 57MBytes is far from trivial.

Get this PNG support going.
