This 2.99.4 release includes some important bugfixes to pdftex (updated
to 1.20b-rc3; libpng update fixes an image inclusion bug) and xdvi.

I switched to dvipng-1.3 which includes the feedback from the latest
teTeX pretests, so I hope that all old problems are fixed now.

I am very grateful for the feedback received so far!
