	Humm...  I see, but I don't agree your solution.
	In this case, you should suggest repocopy request.

	SEE ALSO: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/committers-guide/ports.html#AEN1391

	I think that graphics/png -(repocopy)-> graphics/png12, and
	graphics/png updates to png 1.4.x.  Of cource, many many ports
	are changed to dependency on graphics/png12.
