How link against a cmake generated library in a cmake-based project?
Instead I found this on google: https://github.com/glennrp/libpng/issues/342

png crate gets an ultrafast compression mode, up to 4x faster decompression
When the QOI format was first announced it wasn't clear that was even possible while keeping PNG format compatibility. But the fpng and fpnge C/C++ libraries showed it was, and today you can take advantage of those advances in a general purpose PNG library in Rust!

Hello, PNG
But most platforms these days have some form of CRC32 "acceleration". Adler32 is easy to compute so I'm even less concerned there.
I spent a bunch of time optimising the code in [fpnge](https://github.com/veluca93/fpnge), which is [often notably faster than fpng](https://github.com/nigeltao/qoir/blob/5671f584dcf84ddb71e28d...), yet checksum time is basically negligible.
Having said that, the double-checksum aspect of PNG does feel unnecessary.
