<AWT Dev> splashscreen.so is missing pnggccrd.c

Hi, Martin,

I have just filed a new bug

6744609: Disable MMX support when building libpng library

which will be visible via bugs.sun.com in a few hours/days. Next, a 
couple of words about the proposed fix:

1. It seems that on windows platform __MMX__ symbol is never defined, so 
libpng is compiled without MMX support there. That's why defining 
PNG_NO_MMX_CODE unconditionally on all the platforms looks reasonable.

2. A question is about adding pnggccrd.c to the list of files in 
make/sun/splashscreen/FILES_c.gmk - I see some code unrelated to MMX there.

As for pushing the fix to the workspace, I don't know if you have access 
there. BTW, I don't see you in the list of people signed SCA, which is 
required when contributing any code to OpenJDK.

Thanks,

Artem
