Would be very useful to be able to download them directly without having to compile.

I can responsible for compiling new releases on OS X. And I'm sure we can find someone for Linux.

What do you think?

Cosmin Truta - 2013-03-03

Hello, and thank you very much for volunteering.

There are ports on many systems, some of which are mentioned in the THANKS document: http://optipng.sourceforge.net/thanks.html
I welcome any new contribution, and if you do make any, please let me know and I will gladly credit you in that document.

As for providing binaries directly from the OptiPNG home page, I consider it better to leave that up to the package repositories instead. The users of each of these repositories or systems have a one-stop shop to get everything they need, instead of having to visit homepages for each software that they might want to download.
