I was thinking of version 5+ of all major Web browsers.  However, it
appears that only Mozilla/Netscape6 and Konqueror have MNG support.
That means MSIE and Opera are missing out of the major browsers.

So, it seems that using MNG on the Web is still a few years off. :-(

A quick Google search brought up
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngapcv.html which claims that
ImageMagick can do this.
