Adding -DCMAKE_POLICY_DEFAULT_CMP0060=NEW on the commandline works.

But whatever the reason, using PNG::PNG works too. Apparently policy 60 doesn't

I compared single full builds with ninja and make yesterday; with ninja it was 
actually (a bit) slower and required more resources (including a larger build 
directory). My main gripe with it is that you cannot simply launch a partial 
build from a subdirectory.
