netpbm and uncompface have in fact nothing to do with it, Xfaces work in
GNU Emacs without these packages installed, and without the icontopbm and
uncompface executables in the path.

So the winner is libpng. Turns out only 1.2.44 works. Any later version,
including the current 1.5.0 doesn't work with GNU Emacs and Emacs just
shows empty boxes instead of the X-Face.
