It's not trivially compatible with PNG but I will be testing it.  It'll require
extracting the zlib datastream from the IDAT chunks, recompressing with zopfli,
and repacking into new (hopefully smaller) IDAT chunks.

Look for a "pngzop" subproject under the "pmt" SourceForge project (not right
now, it's not there yet!).  I'll notify this list when there's something to
see there.
