Just checked back with my vanilla VM install of Snow Leopard (10.6), 
that the Img package is installed. So doing this package require Img in 
case you detect 8.5 should solve your PNG problem on the Mac (you can do 
"package require Tk" to get the version number). I haven't checked alpha 
channel, though. For the rotated text there is no good solution. Of 
course, pushing people to install 8.6 is better:)
