For most projects that I have worked with, once you go to windows you
have to start bringing these libraries into your project.  VTK has
png, jpeg, libz, and cmake has a few like this as well.  VXL is another
package that has a collection of stuff like this.  Both VTK and VXL have
cmake files that allow for a system version or the assimilated version
to be used, the default being the assimilated version.
