I had a look at PNGOut today...
(Actually, the free trial of a GUI version the author is selling, rather
than the free command line version).

One of the things I noticed in the default settings is that it 
is set to remove ALL the "chunks" in the PNG file.
Many of these are useful/important metadata about colour profiles, 
gamma, physical size etc... really, throwing them away in the ruthless
pursuit of small file size is Not Necessarily A Good Thing in my opinion...
...just wanted to check how you guys have been using PNGout before
you went and blitzed everything with it...
