Silly me.  Using CFLAGS doesn't work, but CPPFLAGS works fine.

Anyway.  Obviously, there are two alternatives: either, extend the
configure script to provide options --with-png-includes and
--with-png-libraries (or similar), or, mention in the INSTALL file how
to set ${CPPFLAGS} and ${LDFLAGS} so that the include files and
libraries can be found.
