Right.  zlib and libpng *are* in contrib, not latest.

The chooser's "partial" listing isn't doing "the right thing", it
seems from the feedback I've gotten.  I'll probably change that.  The
question is, if you choose the defaults, does it download/install the
right thing?

Also - if you "download from internet" and then "install from current
directory" you are making setup's job a lot harder.  Just use "install
from internet".

Right.  I'll probably change setup (eventually) to not count [prev]s
in the partial listing.

It used to be that "contrib" meant "not installed by default" but it
really doesn't matter any more now that setup.ini is in charge.
