Does de_image support PNGs with more than 256 colors?
Does it support alpha?

Interlacing is not critical for usage in GUI resources - it's 
always possible to open interlaced image and save as 
non-interlaced.

Are you planning to separate import and export operations?
E.g. possibility to build read-only configuration of library to 
reduce code size?

I'm going to try de_image instead of FreeImage in dlangui.
