ok so it looks as if `./configure' needs to detect that pngtopnm
are absent and request that they be installed. Maybe I should
cvs commit the actual image as it seems that the png tools
are not commonly installed.

yes this Python script is used to generate the .texi library
documentation.  I guess I could do the same as above?
