astropy: Build_docs command crashes (segfaults?)

When trying to use python setup.py build_docs I get the following error (Windows 10, Python 3.5, astropy master, libpng 1.6.32, sphinx 1.6.3, conda environment).

updating environment: 1061 added, 0 changed, 0 removed
libpng error: Write Error visualization/lupton_rgb
Sphinx Documentation subprocess failed with return code 3221226505

I suspect it’s not really astropy specific but I don’t know how to debug such an issue and find out where it really belongs but it currently prevents me from building the astropy docs locally. 😄

Any chance of testing with this new package?:

conda update -c c3i_test2 libpng

The fixed build is now available in the default conda channel 🎉. It fixes the segfault issues so I’m closing this.

On a related note, I’m not sure we’ve ever actually tested the docs building on Windows before!
