[PNG] I'm working on a tool to test different compression methods / parallelization

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a tool to inspect the internals of an image. For now, this
is just going to be PNGs. I'll add more formats as I get time.

My intention is to create a general platform for our experiments.
At our last meeting, we wanted to experiment with different compressions in
PNG. And we want implementations of various parallelization proposals to
test.

I'm going to try for parallelization first. But I'm not sure if I'll get an
example working before our meeting on Monday.

(The above is an APNG so if you don't see it animating, file a bug against
your email client.)

I've put the code on GitHub but because I'm rushing I cut a lot of nasty
corners. I'll link to it later when it is more presentable. But it's there
if you're motivated enough.

Just wanted to update you all with some progress.
