configure checks for versioned libpng instead of relying on plain .so versioning

Submitted by Pacho Ramos @pachoramos1

Link to original bug (#667068)

Description

This comes from: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395037

As explained in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395037#c1 we need to make the following hack in gentoo:

    # This will avoid polluting the pkg-config file with versioned libpng,
    # which is causing problems with libpng14 -> libpng15 upgrade
    sed -i -e 's:libpng15:libpng libpng15:' configure.ac || die

to prevent problems when upgrading libpng like: https://bugs.gentoo.org/383655?id=383655

We could avoid that if unversioned libpng was searched by configure.ac, is there any reason for looking for versioned versions instead? If not, would be nice if you could drop that checks and simply rely on .so versioning

Thanks a lot
