NEW: optipng

[vincent-opdarw@…]

I'm going to attach the Portfile... optipng is similar to pngcrush, but I find it faster and it compresses better (on some images, one can gain more than 50%, using the -o9 option!).

Portfile for optipng 0.5

Looks like I didn't see this bug when I added my own optipng a couple days later; basically the same port (even the note about library dependencies). Let me know if you want to be added as comaintainer.

Yes, this is quite surprising. Well, your port was better, but now this gives me interesting information about TCL commands. Also, I think it could be worth saying, in the long description, that the idea has been inspired from pngcrush and the optimization has been improved, so that the users know that they should choose optipng rather than pngcrush.

Yes, I can co-maintain it.

You mean the 'eval xinstall' stuff? I think I mentioned that on the DP list a couple months ago, but it basically is needed since xinstall won't take the output from the glob directly so you need to eval the whole thing...kinda funky, but works.

Done, I just copied the relevant stuff from your attached portfile.

Yes, I can co-maintain it.

Also done, we both can look forward to enjoying bugs for future versions, etc...
