The PNG specification sets no limit on the number of ancillary chunks
allowed in a PNG datastream. You can impose a limit on the total number
of sPLT, tEXt, iTXt, zTXt, and unknown chunks that will be stored, with
png_set_chunk_cache_max(png_ptr, user_chunk_cache_max);

As of libpng version 1.2.9, png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8() was
added. It expands the sample depth without changing tRNS to alpha.
As of libpng version 1.2.41beta09, not all possible expansions are supported.
In the following table, the 01 means grayscale with depth<8, 31 means
indexed with depth<8, other numerals represent the color type, "T" means
the tRNS chunk is present, A means an alpha channel is present, and O
means tRNS or alpha is present but all pixels in the image are opaque.
