Hi Norbert,

is supported.  In fact I am using it with libpaper-1.1.24+nmu2 from debian
plus the attached patch for the JIS paper sizes.

Unfortunately Reuben Thomas is going into directions that are perhaps not so
useful for us.

(1) He has first somewhat improved libpaper, but then replaced it by a paper
executable (perl script) that reads a data file.  See
https://github.com/rrthomas/paper

(2) His lates psutils use just that.  See
https://github.com/rrthomas/psutils

So I don't yet know how to proceed.

I think libpng 1.4 and 1.5 shoukd be OK, but libpng 1.6 still has some
unresolved problems (with certain png images).
