libpng 1.6.2-3 now contains the above upstream workaround.

Once the fix is final and part of libpng 1.6.3, we can go ahead and drop
the optipng workaround from the following already fixed packages:

cinelerra-cv
cinepaint
digikam
gnumeric
hydrogen
kadu
kdelibs3
links
scim
smplayer-themes
virtuoso

Sorry for the slightly unnecessary rebuilds everyone.
