Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2013-12-19 19:06:46 UTC

I'm not sure of the specifics, but there must surely be some native functions for loading (and saving?) png/jpeg/tiff/etc. files on the Mac.  When building on Mac OS, we should depend on those instead of having to use libpng/libjpeg/libtiff.

This would be similar in spirit to the gdi backend for win32.

for the record, afaik on windows we give priority to the libpng/libjpeg/libtiff backends than the gdi ones.
