PNG24 output and GDAL dependency?

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi list,

we are trying to create a minimal PHP/Mapscript rpm, but are running into
the issue that for 24 bits PNG output there is a dependency on GDAL. Why is
this and can it be avoided somehow?

Also, if we try to use 8 bit PNG (PC256 instead of RGB/RGBA), we get a
segfault in PHP/Mapscript if GDAL is not compiled in. If GDAL is compiled
in, all works fine.

Best regards,
Bart
