[R-SIG-Mac] imageio configure?

[roger koenker]

I wonder if someone   could elaborate on the ./configure magic needed to
find the libPng  in the imageio framework.  I have built R 2.2.0 from  
source, but
without png and jpeg support and would like to rectify this, if  
possible.

Using ImageIO is trivial. Just mask /usr/local during configure/
build. Starting with Tiger,  nothing in there is needed any more.
