Assefa,

There don't seem to be any conflicts due to the libpng and libjpeg inside
bgd.dll since they don't export any of the entry points.  Of course, it does
mean things can be bigger if there is a duplicate copy in GDAL.

I will take this as permission to do some hacking over the next couple of days
on the windows build.

Thanks!
