It would be fine if you could add an option to generate a png-Output with
dvipng.

To clarify, did you mean that you want the entire document to be output as a png?  Or
is this for graphic inclusion?

Exactly.

This seems like an awfully specific request - I have been trying to keep fringe
requests like this out of the already enormous makefile.  You might be able to get
away with adding something like this to your own Makefile.ini (make sure to use tabs
instead of leading spaces):

%.png: %.dvi
  dvipng -o $@ $<

Then try typing

make myfile.png

If it works, I will consider this for inclusion.

Did you get a chance to try the above suggestion?  I'd be interested to see if it worked

for you.  I'm marking this as WontFix, but will reopen it if I hear back.
