671242f350d172e106580348e24bab66b0d7e6a5vboxsyncsettings, please change the DLL name to something different than any of
671242f350d172e106580348e24bab66b0d7e6a5vboxsyncthe above names. Also, make sure that in your "pngusr.h" you define
671242f350d172e106580348e24bab66b0d7e6a5vboxsyncPNG_USER_PRIVATEBUILD and PNG_USER_DLLFNAME_POSTFIX according to the
