Won't start due to libpng16 dependency on EL7 #153

I'm seeing a similar issue on EL7 (RHEL, CentOS 7) with libpng16 that an earlier user reported with Ubuntu. I've installed 1.6.0 via the official rpm package for x86_64.

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: Error: libpng16.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at process.module.(anonymous function) [as dlopen] (ELECTRON_ASAR.js:172:20) at Object.Module._extensions..node (module.js:598:18) at Object.module.(anonymous function) [as .node] (ELECTRON_ASAR.js:186:18) at Module.load (module.js:503:32) at tryModuleLoad (module.js:466:12) at Function.Module._load (module.js:458:3) at Module.require (module.js:513:17) at require (internal/module.js:11:18) at Object.

libpng16 isn't available for EL7 - that's limited to libpng15, unfortunately, which makes Ghetto Skype unusable on this platform.
