Apparently transparency in PNG's is not handled.
I was surprised, but there is little attempt to use transparency data.
I'm sure I could do better. There is an issue though in that PNG's support
alpha channels (as opposed to simple 100% transparent/100% opaque).
I'm surprised there hasn't been more call for it - I believe PNG files are
the only ones that can include graduated transparency. I surely can't be the
first person to have wanted to put a vignetted picture over a coloured or
patterned background.
