Lots of executables end up linked with libpng12 due to other libs

gdk-pixbuf2) being linked with it. Neither -lpng12 or -lpng is added

Not due to them being LINKED with it, but due to them shipping .pc or .la
files (probably .pc, since we normally don't ship .la files in Fedora) which
add -lpng12 when you didn't ask for it.
