 * Read a single pixel value from a PNG file.
 *
 * This code illustrates basic 'by-row' reading of a PNG file using libpng.
 * Rows are read until a particular pixel is found, the value of this pixel is
 * then printed on stdout.
 *
 * The code illustrates how to do this on interlaced as well as non-interlaced
 * images.  Normally you would call png_set_interlace_handling() to have libpng
 * deal with the interlace for you, but that obliges you to buffer half of the
 * image to assemble the interlaced rows.  In this code
 * png_set_interlace_handling() is not called and, instead, the code handles the
 * interlace passes directly looking for the required pixel.
