cygpng2.dll is in the 'libpng2-1.0.12-1' package, which can be istalled
alongside the more current libpng-1.0.13-3, libpng10-1.0.13-3, and
libpng10-devel-1.0.13 packages. (You can investigate this yourself

Did you try libpng2-1.0.12-1? I did -- and I got cygpng2.dll.

Ummm...yeah. Big differences. Don't do that.

Well, there was an off-by-one error in a recent version of setup.exe;
the effect was to NOT install the last file in a package. For a package
with only one file, that means it didn't get installed. Try updating to
the newest version of setup.exe, and reinstall the libpng2 package.
