Thank you so much for your help!

Removing the Msys2 versions of inkscape and then installing the windows 
package and adjusting my path to

    export PATH=$PATH:"/c/Program Files/Inkscape"

and then commenting out line 33 in zutil.h, recompiling and replacing 
pngcrush seemed to work.

I am providing details in case others have this challenge.

I am now waiting for the compile to run but it seems happy.

Thanks again!

Brian
