To expand on Yaakov's answer, yes -- this is intended. The libpng API
changes with each major release, which is why the DLL name gets "bumped"
in each case. libpng14-1.4.x-y provides cygpng14-14.dll, while
libpng12-1.2.x-y provided cygpng12.dll.
FWIW, the png team has abandoned even/odd numbering to designate
stable/development releases. Hence, the 1.5.x series is now the
"current" stable release -- our "new" libpng-1.4.x is already obsolete.
I'll publish libpng15 before Christmas (by which time, of course,
libpng-1.6 will be stable).
